Tell him I said Hi and to get his damn computer fixed!
Hi Lloyd.
It's fixed, it's fixed....., honest!!!
(albeit with a second hand 10yr old graphics card
!!) Still gotta get a new computer though. There's only a 30 day warranty on that card, so dear knows how long it will last.
Once things settle down at Apple (what with all these new chips, M1's M1x's etc) I'll make a decision. At the moment I'm leaning heavily towards the MacMini.
BTW A word of warning to ya'll. When I was a working photographer I was pretty proficient at backing up my computers, but since retiring from photography 5 yrs ago, I sorta let it slip. I really wasn't sure what was on my hard drive when it crashed. It was only when it was fixed and I decided to do a full backup that I realised there were photoshoots of all my grandchildren and their birthday parties etc... Thankfully nothing was lost, but a valuable lesson learned. TIME FOR A BACKUP EVERYONE!!
It's good to be back.
