I got a new monitor, one of those fancy pants curved ones.

The Colours didn't look quite right on MacOS, so I had to hack it to use RGB not err..

type YPbPr colorspace.

I'm using it now, for the first time.

So far, it hasn't blown up.

But the cable's noticeably shorter than the old one. bawl

Why does Nightjar keep having to reset his computer?

Can't you just go to Force Quit and restart Finder to fix whatever the problem is?

I think he said his tablet can't cope with Apple's fancy modern one and it's having to use an old version. bawl

I thought it was his iMac? Running whatever version of MacOS it takes?

But we still don't know if it's just freezing or running slow, or rebooting? Normally I'm a live and let live kinda guy, but it's now affecting me Us.

I think it's a model that's easy to increase or replace the memory, I'm sure he's rebooted in safe mode to clear the cachés, checked the memory with rember and run first aid in Disk Utility. All the obvious stuff.

I've just ordered a new wifi card for my laptop. This one'll be able to do 5 ghz instead of the 2.5 I'm currently capable of. Excited

That just the frequency, not the transfer speed.

I think, 802.11 does me nut in!

I thought that 5 ghz is faster than 2.5 but has a shorter range. dunno
