I bought a photo scanner to turn my photos, negatives, and slides into digital images. Using it for the first time today. It scans 4 slides at a time in just at 3 minutes, and they look awesome.

If you are a Mac user and use Catalina (MacOS 10.15.x), know that the new 64-bit driver, Epson Scan 2, is not as full-featured as the old Epson Scan.

I kept one startup drive on MacOS Mojave 10.14.6, just to run older 32-bit apps.


Heck, I use a Mac still running High Sierra and it works just fine. I haven't found any reason to update the operating system, so I have no problems with my three year-old V600. A wise friend who is a Mac expert told me to hold off reflexive upgrades until programs you value don't work with the old OS. So far, this has been very successful advice for me.

Another good strategy is to have multiple external startup drives featuring different operating systems. That’s what I have done for 22 years.

It works for most tasks. Extremely resource intensive tasks such as video editing may require an internal drive or a Thunderbolt 3 connected SSD, but USB3 is usually sufficient.
