Scary stuff...total overhaul of my Mac Mini.

[Atman]

5. I had to wait to do the upgrade, but all is done. Wow.

I was working on the Ralph Northam campaign and couldn't risk having my computer down, so I had to wait. It was kind of agony seeing all the stuff sitting there and I couldn't (shouldn't) do anything with it. Well, after the Northam job I called up my geek -- er, son -- and he took all the goodies and my Time Machine and installed the new fusion drive(s), and restored all my data, and upgraded to High Sierra.

Creative Cloud 2018 is working great so far, but I really shouldn't have waited so long. Holy cow, it's a BIG leap going from CS4 to CC2018. I'm having to re-learn quite a bit of stuff, but it's not too bad.

The biggest issue is dealing with my wife. She's not big on change, and lots of things are different. Mostly in that my son switched my browser to Chrome (from Firefox) because he said I needed to -- Firefox is today's IE, he said. Fortunately most everything in the way of bookmarks and autofill data transferred seamlessly, but I had to did have to request a few long-since forgotten passwords.

Overall I'd say I'm pretty happy. It's fast as hell, and Photoshop is particularly fast given the new solid state drive. It really hasn't changed drastically from Mountain Lion, but it does feel like a whole new machine.
