Apparently, the Mac Mini Pro has the clocks. It rocks.

That is the old story. Macs are the best at graphics, etc. I'm not
sure that is still true. In any case, I don't do graphics.

You will imagine that I use my computer for far more than that.

to even think of such a stupidity. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Apparently, we are on the same path!
So, I'm still using my refurbished Lenovo Carbon laptop - works great.
It's the internet connection that is the problem. We used to have Google Gigabyte high speed fiber - now we have a Hughes Net satellite and it
sucks. When we move into the condo I am going to insist on running a T1
line directly into my studio!
