I guess I'll find out, I ordered a new iMac. To be delivered before June 18th.

Got it delivered yesterday. Damn, this is a sweet upgrade so far. It is markedly faster than my old machine, but that's not strange since the old one was bought in '13.

I went into a Mac store though and compared it to the top of the line present Intel iMacs, and it was still markedly faster when opening browsers and so on.

I'm installing a few games now to se how it handles graphics.

Apple loses in the Epic Games v Apple lawsuit, must allow apps to make purchases outside of Apple's ecosystem (and without Apple getting it's 30% cut).

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Repent now and maybe Tim Cook can forgive your heresy against fruit-based phones. :worthy:

Rejoined the Apple laptop club with an M2 Air today (also haul around an iPad at work, but it was kind of my second choice there).  They still make nice laptops.

E: It's the base model one, for running browser apps, pandora, and skype right next to the hot tub, getting splashed with water occasionally.   Like right now, for example :P.   ALMOST got conned by my wife into buying one of the new Pro models for the same thing, but it'd be $1k more for....no reason really.  Starlight is a good color.  They didn't want to give me money for my 2014 Pro for some reason.  Weird.

I've moved forward from an IBM Selectric to a cherry condition Macintosh SE. The startup "bong" brings me peace.
