This documentary series is EXCELLENT! 

Epic and Trump - two abject failures unwilling to admit defeat. Go ahead and rant about not being political on this forum……to me the comparison is stark and cogent………they're both simply pathetic!

And this just in, Facebook (the pariah of our democracy) is buying full-page ads against Apple because of its privacy controls in their latest updates. Nothing would make me happier than to see Facebook drop off the face of the earth.

In June, during the presentation for the DC, Apple clearly stated that Office would be available when the first new Macs came out, so this is a disappointment.

But, I noticed that Microsoft wasn't mentioned during the M1 event. What was interesting is that Microsoft and Adobe (who was mentioned) were having a combined session at the same date and time as the Apple event yesterday. So, I hardly think this announcement should be a disappointment given only Lightroom will be available soon on the M1 Macs, with Photoshop scheduled for early 2021. Then there's the massive rest of the Adobe Suite that needs to be ported before I can think about the transition. That's fine since I'd likely be waiting for what I hope is a 30" small bezel, no-chin, iPad/Phone "language" designed iMac or iMac Pro. Wishful thinking……are you listening Apple?

I've had the 2TB iCloud storage from when it was first offered - with a boatload of Apple gear (4 studios), 10s of thousands of photos, videos & full soundtracks, I still have room to breathe. On top of that, and for added convenience, I have a paid subscription to Dropbox, PLUS…………(as if that wasn't enough) 1TB Adobe Cloud account! But as a creative professional (Commercial Artist and Soundtrack Composer) I'm the type who, after being on computers since the mid-80s, has up to 40TB of external backup drives on all of my Macs (and that's from the paranoia that comes from having lost only one file, a single commercial job - one that was finished and never needed reworking). Storage is really, relatively speaking, dirt-cheap. I compare a 10TB WD drive today at under $300. to my first 2MB external drive in the '80s at over $800., and the word "exponential" certainly describes the arc of technology. 

Big YES……………They're Wondery-ful! Seriously. Maybe look at Crooked Media as well (Pod Save……America, The World, The People. What A Day [NYTimes]. Lovett or Leave it, and lots more. Given Spotify's Podcast acquisitions, this should be a no-brainer.
