2025-01-02 15:24 PST - Gabriel Anselmo Additional comments Quick update on this, IT bulk-ordered PC parts to
replace desktops that are incompatible with the new Windows 11 OS. Those parts should arrive shortly, once
they do I can get started on building out 3 replacement desktops. I can get you a full specs list of the new
build once I get started (they will be identical) but it will be a vast upgrade from the previous hardware
judging by the old age of the two Windows machines. I will let you know once I get started.
