Default hello again



This could be expensive. I have an iMac that's 8 years old and past retirement and a Macbook that's 6 years old but working great. I'm thinking I might spring for a nice new Macbook, sell the iMac while it's still useful and use the old Macbook with a fancy monitor.

Also, the case I need for an iPhone 7+ is now shipping so I'm tempted to buy one at the same time. Ouch!!

Say hello to 5k maybe, doubt I can stretch to the iMac though.

£2000 should do it.

That's very true, and I'd love a nice new bike but just like a bricklayer needs a trowel I need a computer. You could argue that I could get by with a £200 PC from Lidl, but if you want to do a quality job you need quality tools and my Apple devices haven't let me down yet. That waterproof Windows thing I have is back in the bag and can stay there til the next time it's raining and I need to be out in it, truly awful experience if it wasn't for my iPad I'd have gotten nothing done.
