  • 'Napoleon' is a hit with the box office, but not so much with critics

    The basic inaccuracy is the actor's age. Napoleon was 27  when he commanded the French army, 30 when the coup brought him to power. The vigor of his youth is part of the historic story.  Joaquin Phoenix is a weather-beaten 49.

  • A 24-inch 4K monitor & Mac mini is a good option versus the Apple Silicon iMac

    I was waiting for the M1x 5K iMac. 24" is not right for me, so I decided on an M1 Mini and an LG 27" 5K. This way, when the M1x Mini is released (or M2, or whatever they call it) I can swap in the M1 mini and not have to buy another monitor each time I buy a new Mac. 

    I always alternated between humping up for the best Mac I could afford one year, and then the best monitor I could afford the next year. When my 2009 Mac Pro aged out, though, the trashcan Mac Pro was outside my reach, and I went for a better-speced Late 2015 27" iMac. 

    Now I'm addicted to the 27" retina screen. Previous iMacs could be used as external monitors, but not any more. My LG Ultrafine 27" arrived today--thank you, COVID check!
