king editor the grate

My M1 iMac typically uses 12-14 GB of its RAM with Finder/WindowServer using 3-6 depending on how recently I've restarted. I have 13 apps open currently; Quarkxpress, Preview, Affinity Photo, and Pages currently using the most RAM. (Currently on 11.7.10 due to be newspaper owner/publisher/editor/reporter/photographer/bookkeeper/IT guy.)

I try to close as much as possible before opening mess of ProRAW pics in Affinity Photo, which naturally causes massive memory pressure. After a couple of minutes, system seems to do well reallocating RAM and giving AfP as much as it wants, often 8 GB or so.

My next electronic abacus will be Studio. I would like to settle for 32GB, but fear that would be a grave error. Course, I also now see little reason to buy an M2 Max when new chips will surely be on way. (As if there's a time when new chips aren't on way ...)

I am longtime iMac aficionado. Finally bought Benq monitor to use in portrait mode for vertical work and open-box Studio Display for horizontal. Biding time with M1 iMac (one external at time) and planning to procure Mac Studio when cash flow permits to set myself free from insanely neglected iMac line.

This weird obssesion,this fetish with bigger and bigger cameras on phones, with truckloads of megapixels,just to take a pic of your cat,or a sloppy selfie, is getting out of hand already . 

The camera on the original iPhone SE was more than enough. But nooo,snob teenagers want moar ,moar! 

Phone is my sole camera for my weekly paper. I’m upgrading every two years and would enjoy better zoom, better low-light quality, RAW burst mode.

And what problem does the foldable screen solve again?

Keyboard mapping for any language.  Apple wouldn't have to make unique hardware keyboards for different markets.

During the keynote, Cook will show a $2,999 slide, then have $499 plummet from heavens to smash it but good.
