Just got my editing laptop back from the tech nerd lab, as it has been recovering from a 3-month long open-heart surgery stint. New board (used+cheap), upgraded memory and faster graphics CPU speed now- so he claims. Still getting used to being back in the saddle again with my existing portable technology, and have my fingers crossed that everything will work now as planned and that the dreaded Apple spinning wheel will not come back to haunt. Battery life and climate change are not debatable matters anymore, as they both now have concrete storming evidence, with victims present. I should be lucky, the month for Halloween hauntings is a few months away and the computer should work at least until then. High Hopes, like the Amityville house on Ocean Drive once proclaimed on its pretty green front lawn. bye.
