Re: Flying commercial with puppy/small dog in cabin - Today
It's been years (pre-9/11) since we've done so, but the only pesky problem I remember having to deal with was where to take them potty during the layover. We were flying coast to coast at the time.by CJsNvrUrly - Tips and Deals
Re: Received my Photoshop one-year plan today: 1 year @ $7/Month - 3 days ago
I've been lucky enough to have use of Photoshop in its various forms for years, but have been falling behind so when Photoshop Elements 2020 became available the other day for $58 (which included an $10 Amazon GC), I purchased it. It has most--if not all--the features I want to use.by CJsNvrUrly - Tips and Deals

Re: Frustrated today - 4 days ago
Quotedavemchine Putting on my old man pants. There was a day when Apple made products that worked. Maybe they didn't have as many features as Windows but what they did worked well. Now everything is a struggle. Just getting music to play thru my house is unreliable and difficult. I feel like a grumpy old man today. Maybe I'll go spin some vinyl. I lamented this in a post the other day so I guesby CJsNvrUrly - Tips and Deals

Re: One Mac to rule them all - 5 days ago
Thank you for all your suggestions thus far. Even Waitin4CJ chimed in (at home) and suggested an external drive (although he wanted to "Velcro" it to the laptop--not an elegant option). It's given me a lot to think about. I found just the right laptop for a mere $3600. The 16-inch MacBook Pro, upgraded with 4TB storage. I'll just have to save a little more.

Re: One Mac to rule them all - 6 days ago
Quotejdc Quotemattkime Nothing wrong with a 6 core i7 processor with 16GB of ram, although wonder if the 256GB ssd drive would be large enough. $1869 - I was going to say a brand new 16" -- with 512 GB drive... but at $2100 its over the budget. However, it would truely be a long term solution, should last for many years. Depending on your router, a USB drive plugged into it shoulby CJsNvrUrly - Tips and Deals

Quotejdc How much space does "all your music and photos" take up? Assuming you are just "sharing" all of the music and photos to the MBA now, correct? Not actually stored on it... I'm embarrassed to tell you. If I Get Info on my Music/iTunes, the file size is 272.2GB. Pictures = 292.56GB. Files are stored on my iMac, accessed through our network.

Re: One Mac to rule them all - 6 days ago
I should add that I'm not opposed to setting up an external display with hub so that I can carry my laptop from the kitchen to "plug 'n play" at my desk in my bedroom. (And this would be considered a separate expenditure, not included in the "under 2k" requirement.)by CJsNvrUrly - Tips and Deals

Quotespace-time my neighbor has 2 cats, one is shy and is always inside, the other one is outside every day. Just curios, if your cat goes outside, do you still need litter? can they be trained like dogs to poop/pee only outside?
