Mikaela watched eagerly as Kristen unpacked first the tower, and set it under her study desk.
She and Olga then unpacked the massive curved ultrawide monitor and placed it on the desk top.
After that, Kristen plugged in both the monitor and the tower into the UPS and power strip that they had installed, connected the monitor to the tower's display output, and then connected the keyboard, mouse, headphones, and ten-gigabit router.
"OK all set. You can power it on now," said Kristen stepping back.
Mikaela sat down at her desk, and apprehensively pressed the power button.
The tower came to life with a loud whirring sound as the fans spun up.
The monitor flashed with first the UEFI and then the SiriusOS boot screen.
Within seconds' Mikaela was staring at the user account creation screen.
"Go ahead, put in your name and a super-secret password that only you should be able to know," said Kristen.
