Hej Jorge! I ditched my 'droid and got an iPhone. It's ACE!

I just upgraded my macbook and put an ssd in it and 8gb of RAM. It's even more ace now :cloud9:

What's it like for gaming? Apart from Civ 5 which I know it runs because Jorge said so.

I was lying, btw.

Tell you what it is good for Mr Ash.

Music. I am able to record easy and have a variety of different effects. can put tracks together easy,
Good for practicing without need to use an amp.

My one is **** (it has intel graphics). It can run old games at maybe medium/low settings but anything new it really struggles. The newer ones that use AMD graphics are better. I've just bought a new monitor, graphics card and SSD for my gaming rig. I got the new AMD RX 480 GPU and a FreeSync monitor. No more screen tearing :cloud9:

You might have sold me there, Mr Vegas. :thumbup: I haven't treated myself to a luxury item since my last laptop maybe seven years ago!

The thing I hate about my macbook is it's trivial sized hard drive.
I've got everything saving directly to my external drive now.

I want to set it so PHOTO is located on the hard drive but it says I have to format it in Mac lingo :furious: I hate the way it duplicates photos.

The gaming box is a PC set up, I take it.

I am sure there are just as good software for PC. But it comes with Garage band which is not bad for a start pretty much plug and play. You could put an entire track together yourself if needed.

I also use Guitar Rig 5 and Amplitube. they can be a bit fiddly to set up but fine once you work it out.

Also this is ace.

Yeah. I built it about 5 years ago but haven't used it for about two years. Decided to upgrade it as i started getting the urge to play this new first person shooter called Overwatch. The baby goes to bed at 7pm now and sleeps through so i can get some gaming in of a night. It's probably just a phase.

If you check the Apple site you will find the option to buy a refurbished won. Jorge himself told me about this wonce. The prices seem awfully good.

Previously loved? Does your very soul not rebel at the thought?

I thought they are more dud returns that they fixed up.

I'm unlikely to take advantage personally, but I understand that that is simply a matter of my own peculiarity.

Mind you, I have been tempted by the previously-cherished watch shop at Bluewater. Some amazing prices on as-new quality timepieces, all with original boxes and paperwork. One day I may take the plunge.

Surely you have enough watches? Do you not have a favourite? In which case, why would you ever wear any of the others?

I have my Omega Seamaster and that's it. I expect it will see me out.

There are three or four more I would like to consider the collection complete; I yearn for an IWC Portuguese, for example, and a little corner of my heart would like a Breguet in honour of the doctor. And, of course, one day, if God is very good, a Patek Philippe.

Different ways of looking at things, I suppose. I think of my watch in roughly the same way I think of my wedding ring - it's my watch and it's sort of part of me. The idea of it as a fashion item never really occurs.

'Fashion item'?

**** off.

I honestly meant no slight by the description. :shrug:

[Sir C]

It is an offensive term, though. You wouldn't describe a chap's collection of rennaisance art as 'fashion items', would you? A gentleman's car collection? Tom Travers' silver cow creamers?

No, but those aren't things one wears. A watch is a wearable item and is therefore as prone to fashion as any other item of apparel.

One does wear a car, in a sense.

[Burney]

In a very strange and not really accurate sense of the word 'wear', yes.

[Ash]

Where is your sense of poetry and metaphor? People wear nice clothes to look good. People wear nice cars to look good.
