Bought an electric food slicer today, had to visit three outlets of a particular chain of electrical stores to find the thing. The first shop was boarded up & closed, the second had no stock & at the third they had to get one from out the back.
Very impressed with the safety & ease of use &cleaning. Just finished slicing some cheese, done at 2mm thin.
Been reading the Dec 2016 issue of Macworld. I hadn't realised that Apple had retained 2015 13 & 15-in MacBook Pros as entry-level devices. Handy to know if you want Magsafe & multiple expansion ports.
I struck something nasty with the men's Shed iMac: after switching user accounts, the screen went dark with only the cursor visible.
So I fired up the MBA & searched for a solution.
This is what worked: at the blank screen, type in the login name & press Return.
Then type in the password and press return.
Then press the spacebar.
That's all it needed.
How many Germans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
One.
They're efficient and not very funny.
Just realised I use the opposite reverse-cycle A/C settings to my mother. She heats the room to 23°C and cools it to 19° whereas I cool mine to 23° & heat it to 19°.
I caught up with my old friend Michael after yesterday's Xmas church service, I rarely visit that town now our family has moved from the area. I hadn't seen him for maybe three years. His elderly father (90-something now) is in the local hospital's nursing home.
Mick mentioned that he and a few of his 9 sisters were collecting him and taking him home for Xmas dinner. It's under half a mile for the trip, so there's little distress for the old fella.
