My Writing Technology (Cont.)

I realized that I didn’t follow the directions for the post titled, “My writing technology,” so I’m going to correct that with a brief follow-up.
I have a technological disaster at my house. I have my boyfriend’s gigantic old laptop, along with two PC hard drives. My new internet is only installed on one of the hard drives, and my ancient printer is only installed on the other. We have misplaced the disc for the printer. The internet has also been sporadic, recently.
However, I did purchase an old-new computer from a friend (new to me, and old to him), and we have a new printer, so within the next few days I should be in a much better technological environment. I still need a new monitor, and even the desk is inefficient.
When it comes to writing, I prefer to write longhand. I can type faster, and would probably rather type if I had a better laptop. I don’t usually sit at a desk to type, or at least not the desk I’m currently using.
I tend to be somewhat picky about the conditions I write in, and I can’t imagine what it would be like to write without, at least, pen and pencil.
