Tabby Cat - Photograph

It's been about seven months since I last made a blog post featuring my "cat", as Teddy calls him ;-). I cherish him and am grateful to have him in my life. This photo of him is from a long time ago. I've been resolving computer issues, and part of that involves a "Swedish Death Purge" on all of the files I have, to reduce how much space I will require on a new computer's hard drive.

And for anyone out there who uses the Windows Operating System: I highly recommend making a bootable USB memory stick / USB flash drive or bootable DVD, using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool. If your computer crashes, you might be able to get it working again by booting from the USB drive. (There are more instructions than that, but for now, I'm providing the Microsoft links, without those additional "how to" steps.)
