Great article! I second your shout-out for WKNC. I enjoy listening to them too!
HDMI has been available for quite some time now on computer hardware. The GTX 650 graphics card was released in the Fall of 2012 which makes it now 6 years old. The computer itself is older at about 8 years. That's quite old in computing years. I do try to keep systems as long as I can, but sometimes software demands drive replacement cycles a little differently.
