Well! THAT was an "oops", wasn't it?? 😝 😝 😝 😝

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...

Sweet!!! Downloading now. Thanks! :D

Very interesting video. Let me know what you folks think. (Particularly Mr. Action Retro, Sean ;) )

Hey folks...so, I've been busy installing new software on my M3. I'd like to keep tabs on the internal temperature. What would be a good temperature sensor to install?

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

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...

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...

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...

The iMac is using Yosemite. Versions of Word on my iMac I use are: MS Word 15.13.3, & MS Word 14.0.

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.

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...

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/

Due to certain things I needed to do online, I needed an upgrade. My regular workhorses are from 2011 and 2012. While they will continue to be used, of course-I had to get this M3 MacBook Pro. 18 gigs of RAM, 1 TB SSD. However, I absolutely refused to get the cloud versions of MS Office &...

I have to make a recommendation. I bought this Sangean radio at the Vintage Computer Festival East for $20. It was practically in new condition. I’ve seen this radio selling for $60-$70. It is FANTASTIC. For a radio its size, the sound is INCREDIBLY rich and deep, with a LOT of range. I’m...

I really think the swap meet needs to be held in late May/early June. The weather was brutal. I bailed around 11 AM. Thank GOODNESS my Ford Taurus has a decent AC!!! Here's a video that Steve (Mac84) shot of last year's event. I make a brief appearance later in the video; I had given him some...

Hey folks...so, I did a bulk download of old emails off my Gmail account. I can view them fine on my 2011 iMac using Thunderbird, but now I want to view them on the G4. The version of Thunderbird I have on the iMac won't work on the G4. What can I use? Thanks. Edited to add: I found a version...

I got there early, and it's a good thing I did. It was FAR too hot and humid, I'm getting up there in years and this type of weather doesn't do me any good. I picked up this nice Sangean radio for $20. It seems I pick up radios more than anything else at VCF; the last one I got was a weather...

There's age discrimination in this ad... :cautious:

But these models DOUBLED as cafeteria trays! Where the heck have YOU been???? 😝 😝 😝 😝
