Does make my iMac Pro seem a little understated don't you think. ?My office is tidier than hers :-)

That sounds like valuable work, Jude. I’ve always liked producing lessons on all the RAF units I’ve worked on, mainly because I needed such material to bring myself up to speed.

There's a lot of truth in exaggeration. The movie "Black Hawk Down" was substantially exaggerated from the book. Apollo 13 was pretty close to the real story, but they never argued, as in the film, because of their sheer professionalism. Neil Armstrong, he really was the best of the best. They say he had 2 seconds to eject in the practise lander, but took 1.8 seconds to read & memorise the gauges. John

Hi John
I haven’t seen that programme, nor had I heard of Seal before. ?It happens to people in many different professions, I reckon, being seduced by promise of large amounts of cash.
I also normally avoid dramatisations of real stories since they tend to become exaggerated in the interests of “good TV”. ?However, I did watch “The Pianist” last night on DVD; that was very good, although a little upsetting at times.
Dear Chris, Watched "American made" about Barry Seal & about how he got involved in drug smuggling. I'm sorry if I offend you, but just wondered what "you're whole take on the thing was?" As I think everyone knows, I'm really opposed to this stuff, I wanted to make medicines to help mankind, but it did seem to be an adrenaline ride.

One manager had to come back to his lab one evening. He knew our good his staff were. Then he noticed them bagging up a pyramid of methamphetamine. What the Hell?

My ulitimate ambition would be your iMac Pro; I wouldn’t need more than that.

Got a look at friend's new Mac Pro today. She just finished installing?768 gb of nemix ram. Hadn't zapped the PRAM by the time I arrived. She had bought it a big new curved screen --- huge - took up large space across the desk. ?I couldn't cope with the screen frankly. The Mac itself is glorious to look at - lovely piece engineering and high finish to its case. Hers came with wheels with holes through them... not little legs...and therefore its a very slippery customer. She says ok when she wants to move it about to plug things in and out. I pointed out the holes in the wheels and I think she is going to lash it with a cable.?
Exciting to look at ... but I couldn't justify buying one myself. But we can admire eh??

Well, it sure as hell, isn't mentioned on apple's website. We are not talking about putting in a new processor, or even a hard drive. These are small slots to slip memory chips in & out. What is the motive for stopping that, or slowing down old iPhones, but to force consumers to spend again?
