Happy Saturday Steemians,
So, my new little lap top has a few surprises for me. It's an HP Stream 14 Notebook.
- Apparently HP thought it would be a great idea to design this model to be disposable. Not obsolete in the standard 3-5 years, but useless. Useless due to the fact that Windows 10 will completely fill the internal SSD 32GB just with it's own updates in less than 2 years. Of course they don't tell you this. I had to go hunting in the HP forums to find that little tidbit of info.
They apparently expect you to only use these smaller models for cloud working. I HATE CLOUDS. I am an old fashioned gal and I want my work to be right HERE, not out there somewhere on someone else's server. I've already lost a good portion of my work over the last 5 years because Just Cloud cheated me out of access to my account and then refused to answer my emails. (But continued to try and charge my PayPal until I removed my credit card and called PayPal support.)
So, I will have to break down and get a bigger external after we move and keep everything on it.
At least I know that it will run Photoshop and DAZ Studio, although I can't properly install my content library, because, no memory LOL
Still, I did manage to get one new test artwork rendered before I chose to uninstall DAZ this morning. I will install DAZ on the new external and then y'all can expect new Gothic Girls in my POD shops and new GG coloring books as well. =)
In the mean time, here is the new art. She will be in my POD shops on most everything this afternoon and as a single coloring page from my Gumroad shop tonight or early tomorrow.

So yeah, live and learn. I will eventually get a desktop for the lab, but right now, I like being mobile. Especially if I start doing craft fairs and cons. It's a whole lot easier to do custom template work for my POD shops on a laptop than a smartphone. 0.o
Until next time, be nice ♥
