I managed to read and play through all of a Scott Joplin rag (Reflection Rag) albeit each hand seperately over 3 sessions of about 30-45 mins each time!

I am making progress and focusing on improving my sight reading and learning all the ragtimes.

I wish I took the time to learn how to read sheet music. I mean, I can kinda-sorta do it: but it's like a fourth-grader trying to get through Moby Dick: it's just not efficient. Good on you.

That was always my problem, my brain and hands were mega gifted, but I couldn't learn the music fast enough.

I've also paid for a replacement motherboard as the one for my main PC was broken and RMA'd but taking too long, so I can resume practising recording and music production, as well as not needing to worry about potentially trying to find a replacement after Z390 becomes EOL, as Asus might simply refund and not replace my broken one if they dont have anymore Z370 sockets (My Z370 socket accidentallied with bent pins, I sent it back offering to pay for fixes, but I dont think they still make Z370 anymore so I ordered a Gigabyte Z390 and will simply sell the Asus one if it does get repaired or get a partial refund if not).

Well, as long as you got a working computer, fren. Right now, I'm looking towards a total-rebuild: everything is too outdated. My PC was an absolute monster six years ago. Now: not so much. The wear-and-tear on it is damn-near retarded, though: so I can at least say it put up a good fight. But now it's time to retire. Starting from scratch, very soon.

I have my working backup currently - a £50 dual core and same price motherboard.

I tried to play Civ VI again on it and it takes a year to generate and load a new map :(

Its actually below minimum spec too - Civ VI needs at least an I3, mines a pentium, though it is a 2c/4t, it lacks some of the features and less cache than an I3.

I dont need my back up to be any better as thats all it is, but I cant wait to gamble on whether on Asus will be able to repair or refund an EOL motherboard.

Planning on getting my lounge done after the lockdown and I will hook up my back up PC to a 4K TV and stream to it. I will need to add whatever cheapest GPU has a Display Port output to is as it only has a DVI and HDMI output for the integrated crappy graphics.
