As I posted a while back, pro camera repair just refunded my money on repairing and modding my K-5. So, in short, the $350 that was burning a hole in my pocket is now buring a hole in Miserere's pocket, and a Tamron 28-75/2.8 lens arrived this morning, just in time for me to take a short photo road trip to Death Valley and environs.
Meanwhile, a short while back, I found myself with a $500 credit at the apple store, and turned that into a big chunk of the cost of a brand new, last generation macbook pro. Last night, I installed Lightroom 5.3 on it, all well and good. Then Apple wanted to install a couple of updates on it. OK, fine. Well, maybe not so fine. It gave a couple messages, which I'm afraid that I didn't write down, then went to a grey screen with a spinny disk, for hours. I think it might have said something about iTunes or the app store. I booted it in safe mode, it seemed fine. I booted it in recovery mode, checked the hard drive, it was fine. It still wouldn't boot. I downloaded and then installed a fresh copy of the OS, and I'm back to a grey screen and a spinny disk. Reboot in safe mode, install my external spinny drive, setup time machine, and see how long that will take me. I pretty much have everything saved on an external drive, because I just set the computer up and haven't actually done much of anything with it. It had been saying six hours to do a 200G backup, so I excluded a bunch of random stuff, and maybe that'll go a lot quicker. -- Larry Colen [email protected] http://red4est.com/lrc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
