- Way back in the early 80's I began using Apple computers on a Lisa, which was soon followed by an original 128K Mac! Unfortunately, professional CAD applications in those days required mainframes, then Unix machines and finally the PC. I was locked into the PC by various CAD applications for over three decades. Yuch!
Now at last I have returned to my roots with a MacBook Pro which arrived yesterday. And of course the whole experience of unwrapping the packaging and setting it up has been a delight. Setting up email took a little doing, and it turns out my HP 11X17 LaserJet is a little too old- but I can live with that! Next step is to test SketchUp and Rhino on the new MacOS, and then I will move on to setting up my "KronoLog" using Drummer as a Mac App. After that, GarageBand, Grasshopper and back to design work. Retirement is "Beautiful, Amazing, Wonderful, Extraordinary, and Beautiful!"#
