So, it was the end of the line for my 27″ 2011 iMac. After 7 years of service, the new OS (MacOS 10.14 “Mojave”) wasn’t going to be able to be installed on the old faithful. There’s some tech reasons for that – Apple moved to minimum standard for graphics cards for their system (they …

Just got off the phone with The Wichita Eagle for an interview about how gaming has changed into something “cool” (Basic premise – there’s more too it than that.) One of my things I realized when he asked me about it, and I told him this, was that it’s actually a cyclic thing. Games have …
