The children detected a problem and worked out a solution! Mamma's computer screen was damaged. The computer still worked, but we can't close the laptop and it feels very fragile.
The four biggest children have been saving up money for the last few months and saved up enough for a new laptop!
The specs are not super high-end, but it's enough to run the programs she needs. We were looking at chromebooks because they were the only PC's in their price range, but then we found this one with Windows installed for under $200.

The children worked hard for the money to purchase this, but it's amazing how the cost of computer has dropped so much. Back when I was selling Gateways (1997 - 2004) an entry level laptop price was well over $1000. It was a big deal getting one for under $1K.
I remember selling this "affordable" laptop many years ago.
Granted that was a looooong time ago, but today we have a respectable laptop for under $200, cheaper than most printers I was selling back then.
Have you ever tried a modern affordable laptops? What has your experience been like?

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.
No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13
Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.
Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.
