I have a new iMac and I am slowly getting used to it. I like the big Apple screen but I really miss the solid state hard drive that was in my old MacPro. That MacPro drive was only 500GB and the iMac is 2TB but I would take the speed back in a heartbeat. I love the wireless keyboard and I am slowly making friends with the new trackpad. I am so glad that the keyboard and trackpad both have rechargeable batteries. I also upgraded from a second generation Drobo to a Drobo 5D3 which uses Thunderbolt 3 instead of Firewire 800.
Another new thing that I am working through at the moment is Google Team Drives. I have not been a huge fan of Drive but I think it is just lack of use. I do like having all my photos online but that is still a work in progress as each year of digital photos is about 500GB and that takes a while to upload. It is funny how I am looking forward to back to the 12 MP era cameras so the uploads will go so much faster. In the last three hours, 6000 photos have uploaded. I really love using the file transfer app FromSmash.com. The only problem is it only keeps the uploads in the cloud for 7 days several times lately I have had to re-pull photos because people didn't download them in time. I hope Google Drive or Team Drives help with that.
I am really looking forward to Jackson being home this weekend from his summer job in Alaska.
