The mecical clinic I attend locally is called Station Street Medical Clinic. Today, in my travels I was passed by a pickup emblazoned with a sign on its tailgate that read Station Street Veterinary Clinic.
I couldn’t think of any vet anywhere near my clinic.
Then the phone number on the sign registered: It’s Station Street in the next town to the south.
It’s transformed! Until about 10 pm last night my 6th gen iPod Touch had be slow & sluggish, responding poorly if at all to touch input & reluctant to interact effectively between apps.
I gave a scheduled presentation at a Mac User Group meeting on how to replace or restore an iOS device. I chose to erase & restore the iPod Touch to demonstrate these processes.
There were a few hiccups early in the process but now I can report that it’s behaving like a new device again, snappier & far more responsive.
Demonstration on how to use iTunes to restore an iOS jigger went well except for the final three or four minutes. That’s when it seemed the whole process might hang. The progress indicator coutdown showed 5 seconds remaining.
Now it’s done the iPod is much more responsive to touch input.
I’m doing a presentation on restoring an iOS thingy tonight (it’s now a bit after 0130) and will be restoring my iPod Touch. Currently it has 220-plus apps and is using 85 GB of its 128 GB full capacity.
Normally I take the MBP to such sessions but this time I’m taking the 4k iMac as its Fusion drive has four times the space of the MBP’s SSD.
I made sure there was an iCloud backup then did another via iTunes & a Lightning cable, this backup came to just under 23 GB.
Got a bunch of cotton towels that need refreshing. Loaded them into the new front-load washer, set to long cotton cycle (almost 4 hours) with water temp set at 95ºC; this is a good trick, my home hot water is regulated to 52ºC by law. The washer has a water heater built it for those higher temps.
Extended the wash cycle with an optional prewash with some bleach powder & ordinary detergent powder plus fabric softener.
This machine can handle up to 7 kg of laundry and uses 70 litres of water in the process plus a few more litres for the prewash part.
If either of you fellows wants to download the Lion installer, I'll keep it on Dropbox for another couple of days.

@gtwilson Looks like it’ll be about an hour to finish the upload/sync process. I tried OneDrive but the sharing options that should have been there were absent for some odd reason.
