Something good to talk about, (No Poli-ticks, pinkie swear!)

My Mac Dealer is the BEST!!!    These aren’t new MacBooks, but ones he refurbishes.    AND with a warranty, that he has honored the once.  

My current Mac is on the fritz: the video card is starting to fail and use it, I end up with headaches from the screen flashing between white and babyblue randomly.    Nothing that can be done about it: Driver updates didn’t change anything, its something internal and hardwear.

So I contacted Johney and asked what he had available.   First thing out his mouth was ‘whats wrong with the one you have?’.    He knows his Macs.   We played with it a bit, but no, its dying.   

Replacement (I’m out of that two year warranty) for $200, several KEY upgrades from 500Gb SSD, 16Gb ram, an i7 processor and much more up-to-date OS (not the most recent but Johney says ‘that version bogs this machine down, go faster with Ventura,,,’

He had two machines on hand, and is going through both and will send me the ‘better of the two’,,,   And I can pay him then.

Dood ROCKS.    He’s even loading my programs that I use: Vellum, Grammerly, Scrivner (I need to dig up my license number for that’un, since I did buy the lifetime,,, ) and Garage band.    

Garage band? you ask?

Yup.   Garage band.   Digital mixing console and editing tool for audio.   Old Retired sound-dood; You think I don’t keep stuff like that around?   LOL.    AND,  I have been toying with the idea of a doing a once week Podcast and let y’uns hear my ‘Radio Voice’.    I may not have a face for TV, but I DO have a voice for radio.   Too bad that radio has turned into a nearly bygone thing.(everyone went VLOG like Joe Rogan and Tucker.   We slowly spiral away from written word, and it saddens me to no end.   I’m not serious about it yet, but I do think this blog needs some evolution, and I kinda sorta need something different to do.   (IF, I do this, I will put up transcripts along with the cast; for those readers that prefer written over aubible.   And I will still post regular blogging posts.  This will be more ‘feeling things out’ experimentation.

Its been a long time since I did a monologue into a microphone,,,,     Heck, the last time I did anything ‘radio’ was when I was making the commercials for the nightclub I did entertainment production for: when I was running the ‘Battle of the Burbs’ band competition,,  Way back-when in 2001!!!!     (that lead to my getting hired by L&C and touring,,,)   This might be FUN!!!

More laters,,, Keep your ears on, heads on swivels, things are still sporky since last week, and we haven’t been given the new distraction yet.
