Technology has gone so far we no longer need doctors, thank goodness. A doctor could not tell you this!
One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike, "My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor."
"Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies. "There's a diagnostic computer down at Aldi's. Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about It. It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars. A lot cheaper than a doctor."
So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Aldi's.
He deposits ten dollars and the computer lights up and asks for the urine sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits.
Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout:
"You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping at Aldi's."
That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe began wondering if the computer could be fooled.
He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and daughter, and a sperm sample from himself for good measure.
Joe hurries back to Aldi's, eager to check the results. He deposits ten dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results.
The computer printed the following:
- Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle 9)
- Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo. (Aisle 7)
- Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab
- Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.
- If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better.
Thank you for shopping at Aldi's.

Agree with PO'H. It was good. Better than first part IMO.

Nope... It is not better than Avengers 1 at all. Avengers 1 was better.
What would be better then? The actual Avengers 2 releasing almost in August in Blu Rays. It is expected to be of 2:20 hours run time (this one is of 2:10), and also is expected to have an alternate ending.
The ending of this Avengers was not so good. Seriously!

Don't give spoilers without putting a warning on your subject line - some of us (most of us) probably haven't seen it yet...

You know I said to the wife after I posted that, let's watch Galaxy Quest tonight. I have no idea why, but she said no!

I have mentioned 'IMO' at the end of my message. Of-course taste differs from person to person.

So, apple have come out with Photos - the replacement for iPhoto.
not sure why - but there you have it - no real choice as iPhoto effectively deprecated (although you can continue to use current versions.
So, I have 250Gb of photos in iPhoto on my NAS.
Open Photos, it asks me if I want to convert to Photos.
"Sure!"
Hours later it finishes, I have a play, all looks good, if not particularly different, and that's that.
Then I want to look at some photos on my other machine.
No worries.
Open Photos, select photo library, says it needs to convert it! Oh well. Say OK.
Long story short -
When it converts on a Mac drive it does so using hard links - so one copy of the photo, but two libraries - one iPhoto library and on Photos library. iPhoto updates one library while Photos updates the other.
But because it's on the NAS (I think) it duplicates the photos too. so now I had 500Gb photos split across two libraries - and when I opened the iPhoto library in Photos a second time, "Something went Wrong"
Now, of course I have backups, so nothing too tragic - but playing with 250Gb of files is never a fun job when you're not sure what's wrong.
Finally I decided to take a copy of the (working) iPhoto library, then delete the Photos library and re-convert.
It's doing that now.
If it fails,I will cry
It's certainly a clever tricj to use hard links to save having to copy photos when upgrading - but it would have been nice to get a "I'm about to copy 250Gb of photos - is that really what you want to do" warning!

You forgot that apple is only compatible with itself, when you're lucky.

The other side of that coin is, "people who use Apple products are too dumb by twice."

I don't know how they manage to do that, but it seems like you can get in the same situation with iTunes. I don't use it myself, but every time a buddy of mine replaces one of his iDevices and asks for my help to do the initial setup and sync, or his machine blows up and we restore from a backup then re-do the initial sync, somehow he ends up with his whole library getting duplicated somewhere and taking twice the space it did before.
I told him there's a reason I'm not using Apple products. They're made for a special type of people, and apparently that bar is too high for me.

My wording was intentional.
I call it self-deprecation turned cynicism, and it gets the point across.

It seems like every few months my wife comes to me to help her figure out iTunes. "It told me to update and now everything is moved around and I can't find XYZ..." That's besides the rarer "my playlists have disappeared" or "where are they putting her ripped CD's now?".
Unfortunately she has no choice but to use it since she has an iPhone.
