Still here, still here.

Not much to say yet today.

Hey. Any day above ground, right?

My fever is down from yesterday, almost normal. I got my Moderna Covid booster Friday after work, expecting to run a fever over the weekend like I did after my second shot, and it did not disappoint.

On the down side, it looks like the video card on my iMac is failing. I'm going to see if hooking up my 24" monitor will serve as a workaround.

Glad to know you're recovering from your current pains.

I wish I understood enough about computers to be able to advise you re: video set-ups. I've been a Mac user 15 years or so, but I'm still in the learning process four machines later.

This happened on my prev iMac, very annoying.  And IIRC, there's nothing that can be done.  I'm going to look in to iFixit later and as I said, hook up my 24" monitor.  I just finished clearing a bunch of space from my computer desk, something I've been needing to do for ages, to get some space to hook up the monitor and test.  We shall see what happens.  If it's still bad, I think I'll be using my MacBook laptop with the external monitor and will begin plotting towards acquiring a Mac Mini.  This iMac is on the verge of completely unusable as I definitely can't use it for photo or video editing and the space available on the laptop is not viable for anything the iMac does for those purposes.
