Under the heading of "why yer Miss Hyperverbal Molly has not been very verbal" on social media, I must cite good old Murphy's Law ""Anything that can go wrong will go wrong" in terms of technology and economics. Y'all might remember I melted down @Apple over a mishap on a MBP.

The problem is the #MBP keyboard on the 2018-19's are notoriously sucky. Add to that an ability to type at least 120 Words Per Minute and it has led to utter failure as I type faster than the keyboard can input. So I end up with a lot of cruft. Change admin PW that saves a fllaw?

Oh, how I, and thank you all who tried with me to recover my #MBP with a now mystery admin PW and no recovery key. 3x changing my @Apple ID. Suggested I visit "The Store" #Tucson has 1. It's closed. So next idea was to ship it to them. Hell no not with all my data, thanks.

I see an HP Windows 10 for 450 new for sale, the exact amount return from refundable deposit on the interim housing and since I have a USB loaded with Linux Mint, Tails, etc and am spending a lot of time in MS Word again, I bought it. It's poundable and fast and a surprise at $$$

Got the new computer set up as while living online might be a new norm for many, it's what got me into computing in the first place in the 80s and why I took my linguistics and language background into the Brave New World. Computer x Internet x Connectivity = Molly's #A11Y

So in a last ditch effort to wipe the drive on the @Apple #MBP I made some unknown keystroke combo that allowed me to log into a volume I'd created but could not boot to. So I did. Now I have a working MBP and Win machine with numerous Linux boot options.
