Computer issues settled

I've got my computer swapped the one with voice recognition that works is my bedroom PC. I'm thinking that my future includes spending less time in my wheelchair even if and when the pressure sore has healed. Have known people who have had pressure sores that would not heal for years. My doctor gave me some hope that this one would heal but even if it does I don't think I will be able to spend as much time in my chair as I used to. I think this means that my main computer will be in the bedroom. I was going to replace the one in the living room with one that has a microphone card that works but now I'm rethinking that. I may have to table the decision until next year.
I was able to purchase a new set of earbuds that ever very small earbud portion so that is less irritating to my ear. It also has a very small wire part that goes behind my ear. There is so comfortable I cannot believe the difference. For them all day yesterday and all last night and I forgot they were even in. I use these so that I can do things on my PC like watching prime videos and TV shows while my wife is sleeping. She can also come in and watch a TV show before she goes asleep and I can still watch something else.
I have a headset with a microphone. I tried to get it set up to work and found the speaker in the computer bezel works better. They were very comparable either so I don't think it's a big loss. So I hope to keep posting fairly often. But now I'm ready to go as far as the computer situation is. An issue I have though is that I purchased a Dell two in one computer with a 10 inch screen. I chose it because it was the smallest screen size that still gave me flexibility with its other positions allowed. So far I haven't used those. I tried making a tent type configuration but that turned the screen upside down. Some of the applications won't work upside down so that shot that down. One issue with this two and one is that it is somewhat slow and really needs more RAM to run the voice software better. My son Dan is looking into replacements. I can probably live with a 11 inch screen hope would and want to go much bigger. I think of normal laptop would probably be fine. One advantage of the two and one is that it is also a touchscreen which helps when other people are helping me do things. I don't know if laptops are touchscreens but I suppose the good be learned if needed. Well I hope to post more in the future. It's funny because I think of things suppose about on Saturday and Sunday one Monday rolls around I have forgotten them. I should send myself an email with a reminder.
