    The new Apple M1 processors and notebooks are getting RAVE reviews.

    Yeah, I brought that up a little earlier but Lanny said he "wasn't a Mac guy"...even though I set my wife's Imac up to run both OS X as well as Windows because she has a lot of accounting software that does not support OS X.

    You also mentioned the new M1 Macs, I think either an IMac or maybe one of the new Mac Mini's with the M1s would work for Lanny if he gave them a try...I have a high end 2019 Macbook Pro and have been running Big Sur for a couple of months and so far so good...but am considering trading it in for a 2020 upgraded version...and you're right, once again, Apple appears to be ahead of the curve with the M1 processors.

    man. I just picked up another 32”, so my monitors were exactly the same. I dont like different screen resolutions and one was slightly brighter than the other.
    I hooked it up Nd its bad ass and then an add popped up. 49” curver monitor forcabotu the same i paid for my 32”. Id much rather have one mong one than two....


    Uggghhh!!!!!

    anyone want to but a nice new samsung 32”? One white curved aNd one black straight?

    both new. Id sell them both for the price of the 49” curved. $399.00. I paid about 300 each for them.
    Technology changes so quick. What i researched six months ago is old now!

    in my studio, I need long and wide but not tall. Hard to find 50” wide but less than 24” tall. I have a 4x8 window looking into the man room from my mixing room and i already have issues seeing into the room over the monitors i have.

    By the way, have any of you out there ever been to Big Sur? Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous as was Carmel.

    Never have been to the left coast although I'd like to someday...we lived in San Diego for a short time but I was too young to remember it.
