    How Embarrassing-A Lesson In Purchasing A Refurbished Computer From Apple's Site

    I have no problem paying tax-but my understanding, wrongly-was that the full amount that I paid via Apple's site INCLUDED the tax. I did not realize that the amount of tax I paid depended on WHERE I picked up the M3. I thought the full transaction was taken care of via the web site.

    M3 Keyboard Covers-Recommendations?

    Actually, I don't either. 🙃 Heck, I keep food and drink on a totally separate table opposite of the M3, as well as keeping my hands VERY clean. It's mostly going to be for dust. 😎

    How Embarrassing-A Lesson In Purchasing A Refurbished Computer From Apple's Site

    Well, this is a bit of a lesson that I want to pass along to people who want to purchase a Mac off of Apple's refurbished web page, and something I wasn't aware of. See, I thought that when I ordered my M3 MacBook Pro off of Apple's refurbished site, the price I saw listed, along with Apple...

    More playing with brightness and contrast. This photo of the New York City skyline was shot in 2015.

    Playing Around With Affinity Photo As A Newbie

    One thing about Affinity Photo...the lay-out of the tools is very different than in Photoshop, so that will take some getting used to. It's early days for me, obviously. The image was already blurred to begin with; I was trying to use some brushes as well as the brightness/contrast tool. And...

    I Got An M3 MacBook Pro; Obsolescence Forced My Hand

    A side note, and something that I've thought about on occasion...I'm actually a bit surprised that companies like Adobe and Microsoft aren't sending "cease and desist" letters to eBay, where they are allowing the sale of older versions of this very software. Given the forced obsolescence model...

    I Got An M3 MacBook Pro; Obsolescence Forced My Hand

    The bottom line is to avoid cloud-based solutions at ALL costs. I saw the writing on the wall quite a while back, and I knew it was only a matter of time before I was forced to go the direction of getting a new machine. I absolutely WILL NOT use Adobe Photoshop on this M3 or MS Word. The older...

    I Got An M3 MacBook Pro; Obsolescence Forced My Hand

    I tried that. When I tried to save documents the way you indicated, I'd get the following. I saved in that fashion anyway. But then, I wasn't able to view this document on the iMac.

    I Got An M3 MacBook Pro; Obsolescence Forced My Hand

    My bad; I should have clarified. LibreOffice gave me problems when I tried creating documents on the M3 and then attempting to view them on the 2011 iMac. I'm using older versions of Word there, and I couldn't open up documents I made on the M3 in LibreOffice. However, FreeOffice easily solved...

    I Got An M3 MacBook Pro; Obsolescence Forced My Hand

    A buddy recommended this, and it WORKED. I write fiction, and I have to be able to work across newer and older platforms. https://www.freeoffice.com/en/
