Received an email from the President of the Mac User Group asking if I could find a used high-spec Mac Mini for use as a new server for the Club's OpenText FirstClass BBS arrangement. The old G4 XServe that Apple donated to us 10 years ago is no longer up to the job. We have a quote from a supplier for $2100 to upgrade the processor & RAM of a Core i5 model.
I found a retailer in the same side of the city with several 2.8 GHz Core i7 Mac Minis at $1080 each. We'd only need to upgrade the RAM for a bit over $300. Hopefully we can get one of those machines.
@literary Ow. As one who lives daily with three bulging discs, I feel for you. But in my case I know the cause, partly genetic & partly occupational.
Got my favourite shirt tangled up in a door handle a few hours back. The button ripped out and rolled away into an underfloor heating duct. Fortunately there's a spare button attached to the shirt & I was able to sew that on in its place, once I could work out where the end of the thread was on the new spool.

@jmreekes Not at all normal. I also use Cappuccino that way. I never have to re-enter my details.

@manx No issues whatsoever with Safari on iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad. I use content blockers which don't affect my experience. Oh, welcome to our nice quiet corner.
TIL my ears are, according to Apple, inverted. Apple EarPods fall out of my ears UNLESS I put them in with the wires pointing upward. I then direct the cables behind my ears and downward to the source from there.
