Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
FWIW, probably not much, I tried to remember my various computers. My employer purchased computers included an HP laptop circa 1986 that had a Windows operating system of some kind (as an aside I remember that a 1 MB, yes MB, memory expansion board cost $1,000 for the HP), and an Apple laptop circa ...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Checking in. So…I bought a new monitor to go with a new mac mini that I was going to buy in fall. It arrived today and — sign o’ the times — the box was open, tape melted, and the delivery guy knocked and ran. That’s actually a step up: he bothered to knock! I’d like to test it before 30 days are u...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Maybe the monitor has a problem. Return it. Buy Mac mini and monitor from Costco (if they have them) or Apple at same time. Good service is worth every cent. Since the monitor turns on, I’m willing to try more testing. I’m going through the documentation. Mountaineer, don’t you miss the old days? Y...

Re: Netflix junkie
The Bird Box sequel just dropped today on Netflix and I'm super excited! Watching now. Interesting. That’s the film title I often use to describe the early days of covid. Going out on the street after 72 hours inside and seeing an old lady dive out of the way when she saw me coming. Perhaps the rea...

Hal, did you by any chance play in the movie 2001? Inquiring bots want to know!
But this is my favourite scene!

Re: Do you listen to Scott Adams?
I guess it’s a symptom of a larger phenomenon: the forum is a ghost town. Personally, I prefer a forum with infrequent, well reasoned and thoughtful posts to one with incessant arguments about trivia..... Of course, frequent , well reasoned posts would be even better! ;D ps: For infrequent posts =>...

Re: Netflix junkie
I just finished watching Mad Max for the first time ever. I honestly don’t get the hype. The movie was very meh to me. I also now especially don’t get why Bogleheads always refer to the “Mad Max scenario” when discussing gold as an investment. Does anyone really think that this corresponds with rea...

Re: Your favorite charity?
Smithers,
Perhaps you could get your Canadian friends to turn off the smoke a bit. Really bad here today. Hope the fire fighters stay safe and get things under control soon. They have a nasty, dangerous job that we should all be thankful for their efforts.

Thank you. I hope all my gyroscopic friends have a great weekend too.

Re: ChatGPT and what it means for our future
This one's for you Dual & Smith:
There was a wizard of Chennai,
Who was baked by mistake in a pie.
To his mother’s cat,
He emerged through the pat,
And exclaimed, with a yawn, Where am I?
