[quote=bingonut]Has anyone installed the new operating system (macOS Monterey) on their computer.
If so any problems with it?
Dozens of reports of Monterey update bricking older Macs on Apple forums.
Bricking — it won't turn on or do anything.
Apple says probably fix is flashing the firmware, but with no way to turn it on, that will require a trip to the Genius Bar or Geek Squad etc.
Apple had same issue with Big Sur, but affected lots more folks.
(And it's not just Mac-haters, Apple wouldn't offer a solution if there wasn't an issue for some folks)
So, if your Mac is new, fine.
If it is older or Intel then I would wait.
Probably your update will be fine (like other UHH-ers), dozens of reports out of millions of updates is not a lot, but why chance it?
I always wait for .1 update if I really need to update. If there is nothing urgent, I wait till .5
We we wised up and did like the Reese's commercial, turned off our front lights and ate the candy ourselves!
We didn't see any trick-or-treaters go by.
Last year only 2 kids, our neighbors across the street. About 10 the year before that. Used to be 40, 50 or more.
No young kids on our block anymore, they grew up, some new babies though!
Yep, I think most parents are taking kids to the mall, church and school events now-a-days.
And there is a block on the "rich" side of town that decorates a lot and kids go there for the extra-good candy!
That's great if you have only 1 computer for email, but not so great if you want to check your email on different computers/phones.
Ha, and what about frozen TV Dinners?
[quote=anotherview]Add Adobe Bridge to the list, as an image organizer.
And Bridge is free, You need an account to use it but no fee.
But it doesn't have the photo editing tools that LR has so you'd nee more than Bridge.
Really it mostly just an image browser and any organization would be whatever folders you set up.
But combined with a photo editor, it might be all you need.
I'd stick with Adobe if you like it, and use paypal, a pre-paid card or electronic checks.
Interesting!
How does one find out if it's CMR or SMR if they didn't tell us?
Nice shots. & history.
Ahh, fall. Best season in Chi-town.
I spent many a youthful day bicycling around Graceland.
Love your old cameras! My grandpa had a couple of them.
Wonder if anyone will collect Sony A7s 60 etc. years from now, or they will work at all.
I used to watch every week as a kid.

Fedex won't even ring my door bell. they set boxes by the door and leave. I did find out some Fedex trucks are now privately owned and they hire their own drivers.
Same here — it's usually FedEx and they don't even ring the bell. Never had to give a signature, not even for my 27" BenQ monitor that was a huge box and cost $650! They do send an email with a lovely picture of pkg at my front door — but I don't check my email that often ... That said, nothing has ever stolen or broken (fingers crossed), but how hard it is to. ring a doorbell?
LOL — The joke's on him ... sex with miners is illegal!!

For what purpose? To have 2 companies censoring speech instead of 1?
I remember when the phone company was too big so they broke it up into a bunch of baby bells which is now called AT&T.
LOL, so true.
3 companies — Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp ... Supposedly to eliminate its monopoly on social media.
Note that usually these breakups result in giving more shares of each new company to investors, which makes Wall Street happy.
