The Daily Teaser — 1-6-2013: Whisky Galore … !

You know, I would love to be in a position to gently retire my aging Mac Mini — lovingly, and semi-seriously referred to as Bruce — with a newer model.

Saying that … ?

Saying that, I do know I’ve managed to use the version of the discontinued software package, iDVD, that ship with this model to collect together all the various photos I’ve taken of my nephew, Jude, and plonk them onto a DVD.

Which will hopefully do down well.

Here’s hoping … !
