I'm re-reading /Halting State/ by Charles Stross. Right up front are the

Yeah, I was one of his friends that would read and comment while he was writing
it. I know him from the same online community where I met Nolan.
It was awesome when his first novel, Singularity Sky was published, I picked up
a copy and after I finished it sent him a note that I enjoyed it. He responded
that he had just finished the draft of the sequel, and was I interested in
reading it. Talk about instant gratification and not having to wait a couple
years between releases.
PS: *NEVER* go shopping on an empty stomach. Stopped by Costco on the way home
from the dentist to pick up some cheese (they have my favorite REALLY sharp
cheddar)
Which one? I just made a grilled cheese with their Coast Cheddar.
I like the Coastal Cheddar (the imported English Cheddar), but I can't
slice it properly, so I've been getting the Adams Reserve New York SHARP
Cheddar, which comes pre-sliced.
... and walked out with a 27" iMac.
Conga rats!
Anyone know where I might find an old version of PhotoshopCS6 Extended Edition
for Mac? I am NOT going to install Lightroom or Photoshop
ransomware/extortionware edition.
What OS is yours running?
I'm not sure yet. I haven't had a chance to unbox & set it up. I've
still got to de-clutter a place for it to sit.
Also I think it came with that tiny keyboard that doesn't have a number
pad, so I ordered a Macally keyboard & mouse from Amazon that are
supposed to arrive tomorrow (Monday).
The standard Apple mouse has always given me trouble because I forget to
press the function key on the keyboard to get the "right click" (been
using Windoze so long)
The TMUG (Triangle Mac Users Group) has a zoom meeting on Monday, so
I've got to get busy and clear out a space for it if I want it up and
running before then.
I want an actual licensed stand-alone version.
I can empathize, recently gave in on that battle. I updated my mac pro to
mojave and that broke it on LR 6, so I tried LRC, and that wouldn’t work on
Mojave, so I had to hack it to install Catalina. Monday evening I got home
and it booted up into the OS installation screen. My system drive had gotten
overwritten. Fortunately my home directory was on another drive.
I bought a replacement for the boot drive, the first step is going to try to do
a time machine restoration onto the new drive. Then I’ll need to figure out
what to do for a new box for photo processing. I expect that there should be
some wicked fast desktop machines based on new processors coming out soon.
This has a 256GB SSD. I bought an 8GB Seagate external drive that has a
USB 3/USB C hub built in.
I guess I'll eventually figure out how to do all that stuff.
