so a tool to consider is keypass or lastpass. Lastpass will crawl your
browsers and extract all of the passwords and save them in an online vault.
from there you can install a helper for IE, Firefox, Edge, chrome that
allows you access to them. In addition you can sync these via website or
mobile app on the phone.

I wouldn't do craigslist for machines unless you wnated to be dealing with
it frequently, but something to consider is the Amazon refurbs you can get
a pretty decent newer laptop for anywhere from 150-400 pretty easy.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
