New iMac

Last week my inheritance was deposited into my bank account. I move the vast majority of it into my savings but kept some in my checking account to buy myself a new computer. Most people would say, “You just got a new computer.” But I would remind them that is was actually almost two years ago.

Knowing that Apple will soon be updating the iMac with their own chips and probably a new design, this is probably the last intel iMac that they will make. I decided I wanted the upgrade and the last intel iMac. So I ordered one with the specs you see on the left. I maxed it out of course. I say I’ll keep this one a long time but let’s be serious. Once the new one is released I’ll probably want to buy it. I’m afraid though that the new one won’t have the ram upgrade door like the current one and I’ll have to spend a lot of money just for the ram. We’ll see. At least I can still upgrade the ram in the new one. The new one should arrive around the end of the month.

First Shot Done!

Last Thursday I got an email from Kaiser saying I needed to made an appointment. It didn’t say what for so I clicked on the email and it took me to the website page for making appointments for the first COVID vaccine shot. I couldn’t believe that I was getting the shot already. I didn’t think I’d be getting it for a few months. So I made the appointment and this morning went to Kaiser on Capital Hill and got my fist shot. I got the Pfizer vaccine. I get the second shot in 3 weeks. I’m so relieved! In the picture I’m covering up my medical patient number.
