Looks like I might have the new iMac on Friday, not Saturday next week as originally expected.
I have ordered or bought all the extras I need for the new iMac. Front facing 4-port USB 3 hub, empty 3.5-in USB 3 HD case, 3TB ext HD & Thunderbolt 3 to T/bolt 2 adaptor.
Crossposted with Yawp. Then I came here for other stuff. Suddenly a notification that @gtwilson had replied twice appeared. But I couldn't find the replies on 10C.
Because he'd replied on Pnut.io.
Office supply store offers two different 3TB Toshiba USB 3.0 ext HDs. One is $30 more and includes automatic backup software for PCs but is Mac compatible. The cheaper one lacks the backup crapware that a Mac users doesn't need.
@kdfrawg We may maintain a degree of nostalgia for the old steam trains but imagine if they were still mainstream: the smoke those to locos put out was quite thick and smelly. The air would be too thick to breathe.

@kdfrawg There's a narrow gauge (2ft 6in) tourist-oriented volunteer-operated line in the hills to the north. They have qualified trainers (sic) and if you are going to operate any steam loco in this state, they are the only organisation set up & recognised to do the required training. See http://puffingbilly.com.au/en/ The Men's Shed group had a day out two years ago on the luncheon train.

Received an email from Apple in the wee small hours of today (Saturday). My iMac has been configured to my requirements & has shipped from China. I have also been billed for the device. It's on its way!
