What a week I'm having!

Oh boy, you never think it's going to happen to you. The old Mac Pro has been cranking along fine for 11 years, and you believe it will just live forever! Then the white screen of terror hits with no warning. She's now down at the shop getting refurbed and I am just now finally ready to start drawing again after several days of buying, setting up and buying some more. It came along in time for tax deductions which I didnt have much of this year so that's a plus. A lot of my software could be migrated, thanks to a Time Machine backup disk. Still a lot of it doesnt work with the new OS. They even told me at Corel that my Painter 12 was obsolete so they won't allow me to use my old serial number to install it. That's convenient... for their bank account! Fortunately Adobe in all it's wisdom with the new subscription based model for the Creative Cloud still allows me to download all the stuff I've bought before and keep truckin'. 
The blessing of this week is that the good Lord allowed my computer to start up one last time and finish a job and get paid until it finally went comatose and I had to send it to computer intensive care. I have to get some comic strips out this weekend to last for another week while I recover from surgery Monday morning. Nothing serious, a small hernia repair. Doing that now before my insurance changes for the worse, deductible-wise, and also I can take my time to recover over the cold months in time for spring muskie hunting! 
​Well, back to the on-going battle to reinstall software. But I do have nice new 27" 5K retina screen iMac. Hee hee hee hee hee hee....
