I am still the online tech support for a number of folks I know -- and with modern social distancing it has increased, or at least I have a couple more one-offs who I help. So far nothing really noteworthy... just basic computing stuff. I have done some basic maintenance for a few folks as well. >>> 10 years ago I bought my first Apple iMac - I love it! >>> >>> I've used various flavours of Linux from time to time too! >> >> Which do you prefer.

Absolutely. And Apple does a lot to improve usability -- little touches many do not even really know are helping them. Lots of system services. > Have you shown your girls THIS image? > https://artsology.com/images/animal-face-illusion.jpg > > Fascinating! :-) Yes. When they were younger and we were doing pure home schooling we covered art, including looking at this site: https://www.giuseppe-arcimboldo.org Both of my kids are very much into art now... and both are very talented. Before COVID one worked at an art camp as the "high school" assistant since she was in 7th grade (high school is 9th grade). Now at 15 she does a lot with resin art and has her own business. -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
