New Technology



Stupidly I upgraded my OS X system yesterday and now find my Mac is terribly slow.  Fortunately there is someone visiting who is expert in all things Apple and the result of an examination of my 6-year-old computer is that the memory is unable to cope with the complexities of the new system.

I say fortunately because my family has decided I ought to have a new iMac and I've been sternly informed the gift will be my birthday and Christmas presents for the next 5 years.

New memory could have been purchased for my current computer but is it worth spending £150 on an old machine?  Hopefully I'll be able to sell this one once I've reinstalled the original OS X system and cleared it of all the debris which gathers on a regular basis.

Disappointingly, due to the holiday, Apple can't deliver the new machine for a couple of weeks and because I've no desire to go to Aberdeen or Glasgow to collect one, patience is the name of the game. I will try to use Blogger on my iPad but it's not great, so please bear with me until I'm back to having a computer which responds, once again, to my every whim.

Of course, I now have the perfect excuse to post some of my favourite videos!

Free Wifi


Why would anyone lug a 27" iMac to a coffee shop? With the best will in the world it couldn't be described as portable.

Mine is only 21" and it's heavy enough without the keyboard and other accessories. There could be all sorts of reasons why this chap decided to use the free wifi facilities in a coffee shop in the south of England.

My suggestion is that his home wifi had crashed and he doesn't have a GP3 dongle. What's yours?
