New iMac!

I’ve been struggling with my 9-year-old MacPro for months. Continually hanging up, getting the spinning globe in Mail, Chrome, Photoshop, etc. Rick tried just about everything, but we just couldn’t figure it out. Finally, rather than wait around for the new MacPro, we decided to go with this machine. Oh man, what a delight! Such elegant design, wireless keyboard and mouse, sparkling monitor. Rick’s got it rolling, now tuning up before he takes off for Hawaii.

Just today started working on my book on the ’60s (which is looking more and more like a book) on it.
