    I agree Ron. When I saw that ad, as the machine was lowering down to compress everything, I got what the ad was conveying. All these creation tools and materials can be distilled down to one device that can help create music and film and the visual arts digitally. I’m sure no animals and real...

    Apple "Special Event" Day May 7, 2024

    I keep reading and seeing comments that while the new iPad Pros are powerful with the new M chips, they are nothing more then iPads. They still cannot replace a laptop. Using the iPad Pro in the same way one reviewer uses a laptop for a presentation just wasn’t as seamless. They say it’s a great...

    Tonight I viewed another TNG episode involving Romulans, Tin Man. Though these Romulans were generic. even so, it’s a good episode.

    How did Margues get his hands on the iPads? Isn’t he in the east coast? ( Assuming the iPads and other new Apple hardware is usually shown at Apple Park in the Steve Jobs theater.) I guess they let the press in the east coast handle the iPads at a venue in New York for the event? I find it...

    Prior to any iPad releases, I used to use a Wacom Cintiq digital tablet that uses their stylus to draw and paint on it. The stylus would allow you to flip it to the other end where there is an “eraser” tip. The first few times I used it, I had an irristable need to swip away the eraser crumbs as...

    This time I didn’t have to look up what an ‘82 Margaux is. Though I’m not a wine drinker. However, I don’t know what an NSD is. Normal Spontaneous Delivery? Edit: Network Shared Disc?

    And the actress who plays Ba’el is the same actress who plays Libby in Star Trek Voyager. That one was hard to spot! I had to look it up. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Jennifer_Gatti

    The hands-on review convinced me to get the regular glass version. I figured there nano would degrade the image some. And it’s interesting to read the comments on the thinness and weight. I figure a case will eliminate that thinness. https://mashable.com/article/ipad-pro-2024-first-impressions

    The 13 inch with standard glass, 1TB, Apple Pencil Pro, case and Apple Care is just under $2300.00. I want to learn more about the nano texture glass. I don’t use or have seen the new Apple Studio Displays so I don’t have a reference for how the nano texture looks. I’m leaning towards the...

    I’ve followed on with my viewings of Romulan episodes of TNG. My next viewing was Time Scape that involved the Romulans almost tangentially. Then came The Pegasus. I always liked that episode but the Enterprise finale almost kind of spoiled it, but it really doesn’t. So I’ve just not watched...
