Ken, thanks for the reply. I do desktop applications with VS2015 and VS2017. Also, a very plain ecommerce website.
I am using MS Sql Server as a database.
I did purchase a motherboard with onboard video, with all of the other components, some recommended above, and some not. I came in at a shade under $800.00, including tax and shipping. They are supposed to start arriving tomorrow.
Hopefully, all of the components work together.
I appreciate you, and all of the others who replied with comments and advice.

Cool, sounds like you have it all covered. Good luck with getting everything together  If you do have any problems don't hesitate to mention it here, lots of people can help.

Check out the list of cars that Dominos provides to let them know which vehicle you are going to show up in for car-side delivery. https://i.stack.imgur.com/C9iP0.png[^]
Maybe you only drive your Bentley or Ferrari, but I always take the Bugatti, when I go to pick up a pizza.

The list has probably been outsourced to a site for researching car prices, but it's amusing nonetheless.

Does the "Preferred Location" option include "In the trunk" so kidnap victims can be fed?

What? No Allard or Alvis? Shocking! Still, I'm sure they'll have Frazer Nash further down the list...
|
|
|
|
|
Konigsegg is surely down there too.

So if you have no clue (or care not) what car do you driving (except taht it is white) you can not order pizza at Domino's?

While I fully appreciate the fact that not everyone is a gear-head...for most people a car represents a major investment, even if you're just leasing. If you've made such a major investment and can't even name the make and model of your own car...then yeah, as far as I'm concerned, you can go without pizza.
But then, this is Domino's we're talking about. Not much of a punishment.

25 years I drive a car my company buys and maintains... It is a white care replaced every 3 years with an other white car... I do forget what type after about 3-4 months...

I'm betting if it was a POS that you'd have to bring back to the dealer yourself you'd never forget what it is.
|
|

|
|
that's correct. it's a bit of a IQ test too. Or car knowledge test. If you don't know, then no pizza for you.

I drive last year's most sold car and now I'm afraid they'll give me someone else's pizza because they drive the same car.
Guess I'll take my Geely* then... Oh wait 
* Actually, I don't think there's even a single Geely on the road in the Netherlands, I've seen them in Cuba and Russia (Chinese car).

Is there a "none of the above" option?
I see that Bristol is not on the list and I am fairly certain there are some... well a few... well, a very small number of Bristol Blenheims being driven in the USA.
|
|
|
|
|
And no Bricklin on the list either!
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah and where's the Delorean? --- the obvious copy of the Bricklin. 
|
|
|
|
|
On the other hand, some might want to know what car the pizza delivery driver is arriving in. Some of those would definitely raise eyebrows!
|

I would take my Yugo because I wouldn't want anyone to know I hang out with Bugatti drivers. (I only had Dominos once, that was enough).
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.
|

|
|
Make sure it's one with heated seats to keep the pizza warm on the way home

I don't eat their pizza.
Homemade is tastier and cheaper.

But you still drive your Bugatti to Dominos, right?

Not allowed to drive.
And we make our own pizza dough.

I have a new laptop and I decided to go ahead and try the built-in email client that is installed on Win10. -- Aside: Notice that I don't even know the name of this app? Microsoft isn't very good at naming stuff.
Anyways, I connected to my email server and email arrived in my inbox but there was no way to scroll through them.
Oh..........isn't that quaint? The scrollbar appears when you hover over that area. That's a ingenious idea.
It's so I have more space. But I have plenty of space so I search and learn how to make Scrollbars always appear. that's a nice waste of time.
But, there is a bug too. If I now go to the scrollbar, the cursor always shows up as a I bar instead of an arrow as it should. Oy! I made a video of this and posted it to youtube so you can see it in action[^].
So here is my big question. When would any user want to have to hover over the scrollbar so it can appear (thus the user is sitting and waiting for the scrollbar to appear)?
Oh, you say, on pad type of devices the screens are smaller so this enables the user to see 2 more characters than they would otherwise be able to see and then they can hover and see the scrollbar.
Except pads usually don't offer a hover-type of functionality do they? Well maybe Surface does since you use a mouse with it. But for most there would be no cursor (since a finger is used as the pointer) and no hover ability so it just doesn't make sense to me.

I've sometimes noticed this in VS too.
