Hi All, it has been many years since I posted here, with my deep involvement in Mac Forums ending in mid 2008 when I was hit with a crushing divorce. That is all long since behind me now and my fascination with Macs has come roaring back. My major focus has been vintage Macs (I author the "Quadras, Cubes and G5s" vintage Mac blog) and my somewhat unruly collection of the same.
Until just yesterday, my "daily driver" has been a 2008 Mac Pro, a truly fine machine. However, 14 years after its glory days, it struggles mightily when visiting many web sites and when opening many HTML-heavy emails. I finally decided the time was right to treat myself to a new Mac and yesterday I took delivery of a new Mac Studio, spec'd with the M1 Max SOC, 32 GB of RAM and 2 TB of storage.
It has been many years since I drove a "state of the art" Mac, and I am looking very forward to diving into this new machine and learning all that it can do. One thing I can say right away... macOS sure looks different these days!
Since this is a hardware oriented forum, I will also mention to any other Mac Studio fans that the square dimensions of the Mac Studio perfectly match those of the famous G4 Cube (I have one in my collection and checked!). Both are 7 3/4 inches square! I am certain that this is no mistake!
Anyway, as I learn Mac Studio specific tips and tricks, I will share them here, and if you have any that you would like to share, I would love to see them!
It is good to be back!
