retired baseball umpire here - used to freeze full bottles of -ade (Gator, Power, whatever) then run the bottle under some water. By the time the game would start, the frozen fluid would be partly (1/4 approx) thawed, allowing it to remain chilled for most of the game

hi, WAM - I use the Macs for lightweight work (email, browsing, etc) with occasional photo-retouching and video capture/conversion/creation. I bought the Tower used back in 2010 (so, got ten years out of it) because of easy expandability (so many drive bays, RAM slots, and PCI slots).

Catie, I bought a used MacMini for (late 2014 - 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD for $920) when my MacPro Tower (early 2008 - 16 GB RAM, 1 TB HD) died on me. Initially, it was to tide me over until the MPT was repaired but I’ve been so happy with the Mini that I haven’t gotten around to repairing the MPT. Read more
I went with the K1 with the keypad because I wanted a thin yet compact Mac-friendly mechanical keyboard and use the keypad for data entry. Keychron fixed a major issue with the first version of the K2 (angled body vs flat), which should make it more comfortable to type with. Still, the K2 is twice as thick as the K1… Read more
I was also a hold-out - hadn’t worn a watch in decades. When our health insurance offered $300 credit towards an Apple Watch 4 (basically recouping a few months of premiums), I figured what the heck. Been a fan ever since.
I have iPads (mini and 12.9), Fire (HDX and HD8), and Android (Galaxy Tab 2). Read more

I had been interested in mechanical keyboards but would need time for the learning curve because I had been using Microsoft’s Natural Ergo keyboards for many years. When covid restrictions had me working from home, I thought I’d give them a try. I’m not a gamer - these are just for work and home use Read more
I’m giving Typewise a try. Definitely a learning curve (using the hexagon keyboard but the traditional QWERTY is available), especially because I’m a index finger typer (thumbs are better for the hex) but I’m leaning to paying the $10 for a year’s service ($25 for the offline app is a bit much).

My best purchase was an Apple Watch 4 (Nike version) as it was discounted over 50% through my health insurance (getting some of the premiums back and did not install their tracking app). Been getting a mile walk in every day, drinking more water, monitoring my weight, and (most importantly), I know how much work I… Read more
If you’re a Verizon customer, make sure to get the Verizon version of the G5 and not the unlocked version. You may be able to activate it once swapping SIMs but if you need to do it again, Verizon servers won’t recognize/activate it (painful lesson learned). Read more
