Re: Something semi-OT but intersting

Photoshop CS6 won’t run on a new iMac 27. It won’t even run on my 2015 iMac 
with the current version of OSX installed. But the subscription version of PS 
and Lightroom work great. I think I pay $10 monthly. Best software purchase 
ever. And I’ve had at least 10 versions of Photoshop going back to the very 
first over 35 years ago.

It’s an early 2009 mac pro that was given to me about 8 years ago.  Over time 
I’ve upgraded the memory, the drives, the graphics card, I put in an PCI SSD, 

It currently has about 3TB of SSD, and 35 TB of internal spinny drives.  For a 
13 year old computer that has been hotrodded so far beyond it’s original specs 
it really isn’t doing too badly, considering that it was my bargain brand (OCZ) 
ssd that crapped out.

Snurk.

And there's your poetry for the day.

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.

Which one?  I just made a grilled cheese with their Coast Cheddar.

What OS is yours running?

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.
