Good morning everyone, I echo Slydude's post by passing on "Compliments of the Season" to each and everyone of our members as well as any none member who reads this post. I hope that no matter where in the world you may be that your health is good and you help others who may be in need, after all it is the season of good will.

Very best regards from Keith in Derby England.

Hey Keith,

Have you been good enough this year for Father Christmas/Santa Claus to bring you that new Mac Pro? My wife says I most certainly have not.:cry Even if I go for the $5000 computer alone and skip the monitor that costs almost the same.

Hello Chscag and Slydude, thank you both for your replies and Slydude, No I have not been good enough to be awarded a new Mac Pro. Do not try to live beyond your means (or your dreams) was the swift reply when I mentioned it to her! Oh well - dream on my boy, dream on.

Very best wishes to all from Keith in Derby England.

Unless of course the new Mac Pro and matching monitor is able to generate enough additional revenue and keep one within one's means... ;-)

The same best Christmas Wishes and Seasons Greetings to you and All and the Best New Year to All.

Hi pm-r, Compliments of the Season to you and yours. I am sorry to say my Apple iMac is nothing more than expensive toy, it does not earn a single penny - I am too old to be bothered with that sort of thing.
Being retired over twenty years has taken it's toll only capabilities!!

Very best regards from Keith in Derby England.

Good morning to every-one, I must report that Mavis and I had a wonderful Christmas holiday and we both would like to thank you one and all for your good wishes. Christmas Day brought just three visitors, eldest daughter, son in law and 19 year old grand daughter bearing gifts and best wishes. The rest of the day was basically idled away with feet either up on a cushion or under the table.

Very best wishes for the New Year from Keith in Derby England.

All the same to you and your family Keith, and I'm guessing that you've already enjoyed your Bubble And Squeak but I sure hope you didn't miss out on any Christmas pudding and treacle, soaked with hot Brandy and lit of course. ;-)

Hope your Christmas was happy, and a very Happy New Year to you and yours!

Jake?

Retired and more time to play with new toys???

I have been retired for 25 years now, early retirement, and I look around and try to work out how the **** I ever had time to fit any 'work' job in! I/we are so busy that the daze need to be at least another 6 hours longer!

But I have to admit that I can still fit in a new year wish to all for the very best for a happy, healthy new year and 2020.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Me too. It took me a bit to catch up to that one though.
