technical problems

The other day we went to Trader Joe's and "Lovesong" by the Cure was playing.  Then "Bigmouth Strikes Again" by the Smiths played, and I was amazed I am now the target audience for Trader Joe's.  Wtf.

I need to buy a new computer and some transcription software and a foot pedal.  I have this lovely Chromebook but it doesn't run windows, and it has a cloud instead of much harddrive space.  I don't really know how to use clouds, unfortunately.

I want to put my photos on a cloud, but I don't know how.  Maybe I should hire a consultant.

Also I'm anxious about whether to get a windows 10 computer or a windows 8.1.  I think used windows 8 at my parents' house and hated it.  But windows 10 is so new I don't feel sure the transcription software will work on it.
