Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-6-2019: World Environment Day

5th June, 2019.

You know, it’s not often I say this: and not often I repeat it.

But something I highlighted, last night?

Was something Apple are doing.

In an announcement, a couple of days ago, they waved the new MacPro at people: yes, I’d love one.

With the wheels, thank you … !

In a separate announcement?

They announced they’re going to be dissolving iTunes on the Mac: and replacing it with three separate apps.

Hmmm … 

I’m … 

Well, I covered this in further detail in last night’s post about El Ministerio del Tiempo.

But it boils down to this.

I’ve a large media library: what happens to that, when the change comes?

And will I still be able to use the replacements to do that?

There’s other questions: highlighted by a friend, last night.

What on Earth happens to those of us with classic iPods: or olde model iPads, or iPhones … ?

I don’t know.

Frankly?

I’m concerned.
