After a series of annoying fuck-ups and some poor behaviour from a so called friend, the remainder of my gear from when i lived overseas has finally made it back to me. Well over a year later...... Don't ask.
I finally have my scuba gear again, and can now actually start thinking about getting back in the water, and maybe even trying some underwater photography back in the balmy waters around Ireland.
But what's really making me happy is that I also got back my very old MacPro desktop, with an equally old Cinema Display. Both seem in good working order, even if they are over 7 years old, but Apple considers them obsolete and stopped support about 2 years ago for them. I'd been debating whether it was worth saving up to try and get a good screen or even a new desktop to be able to do some proper video editing, and not have to work off my laptop, but I don't have the money at the mo. And unfortunately, my old MacPro can't run the newer MAC operating systems to allow me to use Final Cut X like I normally do.
But, I just spotted a discussion on another forum, where a programmer came up with a nifty little hack which might allow me to install the latest Mac OS onto my old computer, and thereby have access to all the same apps as on my laptop. If it works (fingers crossed) then I can spend a small bit extra on a new video card, and have effectively a new desktop. Nerds are awesome.
