New 13-in MacBookPros released. All are 0.7 mm thicker to accomodate the "Magic" scissor-action keyboard. Otherwise the spec is the same for the dual-Thunderbolt devices. up to 16 GB RAM.
The quad-Thunderbolt models is where the action starts, with 2.0 GHz i5 & 2.3 GHz i7 processors. They can be had with 32 GB RAM. Prices in OZ are unchanged, but the minimum specification at those prices is that the 128 GB option has gone. The smallest capacity SSD is now 256 GB, a most welcome change.
@variablepulserate "MMSes are still charged separately. Is that normal with phone contracts??"
The main networks include MMS in the data allowance but not all resellers do. Such an example is ALDI, which resells Telstra 3G & 4G spectrum. Their pre-paid plans have two components: the base pay-as-you-go level which includes the phone number (keep the PAYG balance above zero or risk losing access to your phone number!) and a component for unlimited calls & SMS within Australia.
MMS & international calls are charged to the PAYG component.
@matigo A bit more enlightened here, it seems. This was copied directly from my latest phone bill: "Includes unlimited calls, SMS & MMS to standard Australian numbers and data to use in Australia."
There was an unexpected change to my mobile allowance: it went from 15 GB per month to 30 GB with no price increase.
It's unclear whether this is a permanent change or a shorter-term WFH COVID19 arrangement.

@phoneboy I get the longest buzz-cut, a no 8, which equates to a one inch hair length.
Physio appointment on Friday. All the good work done by the aquatic exercise program has smashed into the rocks & the vessel was lost with all hands. The pool at the leisure centre remains closed, with cleaning staff being the only ones allowed in.
I had a fall at home a few weeks ago & it’s done something horrible to my already bad left knee.
Still swollen and quite sore, the osteoarthritis makes it difficult to bend quickly, which the fall forced it to do. Limited analgesics to suit me, as I cannot metabolise codeine into an opioid.
I have upwards of 1300 titles of books I’ve bought from Amazon over the years, so I’ve been re-reading a few series. Today I decided to access the list by authors, alphabetically & straiht away found one series I’d started reading about 5 years ago had sprouted at least five new titles, all available via Kindle Unlimited.
Been a nasty grey & cold wet day, on my way home from the pharmacy I stopped to take a few shots from a pedestrian bridge over a normally-placid gently trickling creek.
But not so today, it's more a raging torrent.

Nothing like 3rd of February of 2011, though, that day the creek burst its banks & water over a foot deep inundated the area.
