The new MacPro arrived (65 lbs!) and I wasted no time installing my essential programs. I enhanced the factory 2GB of ram to 6GB using 4GB of memory sticks from OtherWorldComputing. Easy to install and they work flawlessly. I also installed a 500GB internal hard drive to match the one already in residence. Again another easy install and flawless operation. I am amazed at the quietness of this monster. One does not know it is even there.
Today I spent sorting through many hundred photos using Adobe Lightroom. As I sorted, I deleted some, cataloged others, and spent some time just remembering the places we have been and the people we have met along the way. Life is cool if you live it!
I now use TimeMachine to make hourly backups. I was leery at first, but it works as advertised. I have an external 750GB hard drive solely used to maintain backups.
Well, back to work for now. I will later lift a glass of fine Merlot from Trader Joe's to celebrate the successful installation.
