27-inch iMac, i7 processor, 3TB Fusion drive, 16GB RAM, Radeon Pro 580 8GB video memory, this thing cost twice as much as my first car. The "transition" has so far been a disaster, I'm completely in the deep weeds with password keychains, iCloud not working, sorta like a Rolls-Royce for someone who can't drive. Got up at 4:30 worrying about it, tech support not even up yet.
Nonetheless, we shall persevere. It can only get better. Sorry "today" stretched into "tomorrow," but you try migrating 400GB of data over WiFi and see how long it takes you.
Yay! (I think.)
When I get it All Set Up Right, I'm gonna celebrate by watching some movie with a lot of action and things blowing up.
How ironic that I am doing this all on my trusty ca-2013 MacBook Pro.
Wow... major upgrade.....I really like getting new equipment... except for the first couple of days - those can be - shall we say - interesting. Having worked with computers since the early days, not much stops me... just a matter of learning and familiarity. Good luck with your new set up....Cheers, RickO
Apple Support is THE BEST! All ready and rarin' to go!
Fire the rockets!
I took two computer courses, Introduction to Computers and Basic Programming, in the early 1980s at a junior college in Dallas. I was feeling like a dinosaur and it seemed like everyone knew computers but me.
I never looked back! I wrote a Basic program called Eratosthenes that would give the prime factorizations of all integers up to 1 billion (I had to enter a list of the prime numbers up to the square root of 1 billion, of which the largest is 31,000-some odd, and after that it was just a simple recursive loop). I compiled the Basic program on a floppy disk and had it hooked up to an Apple 2E. Have had a Mac (several) or a PC (maybe three) ever since. I thought about trying to partition the drive on this baby to handle the only two PC programs I love, Chessmaster and a thingie that crops coin photos in the round (forget the name). But I decided it wasn't worth it.

Great upgrade!
I am gratified to see that AAPL is officially the first company to achieve the $1 Trillion market-cap benchmark, and am quite sure that my contribution to same was Significant and Material and all that good stuff. I actually did buy a little bit of AAPL stock the day before they reported earnings ... so I recouped a little bit.

I enrolled in a computer class when I was in college in the 80s. After 2 classes, I decided that there just weren't enough good looking women or people to socialize with so I quit going. And after all, I thought...who in the world is going to care or need to know anything about computers in the future! LOL Oops! Congrats on the nice new setup Gio!

I've loved their products ever since my first Apple, a Macbook Air back in 2010. I'm still using it they make a quality product for sure.
First Apple was a II+ in ~1979. Not using it anymore.

I think a wall display cabinet is coming up for his favorite coins @giorgio11 I've bookmarked this post for the reveal I would not miss
Actually there is a seventh coin already on the keyboard, scarcely visible, an 1843 Seated dollar raw cleaned XF.
Kind regards,
George
Yes that desk is WAY too clean.
Nice coins and computer.

I hope the after picture shows the coins stacked on a good computer
I can't even imagine a desk that clean. My Wife would fall over dead.

Is 'today' 24 hours or does it end at midnight ?
