Well, I went all in a bought an Apple iMac 27 and it came in Wednesday afternoon. Thursday I upgraded from 8 to 64GIG of RAM and I got PS and LR loaded last night and Topaz tools today.
In the realm of "I have no idea of what I am doing", I am working my way out. My guess would be I am still at about 60% in the hole, but I am moving slowly and I am to the point that I can process photos. I am uncertain if they are on the cloud or my 512 SSD but I can see them and get to them. The rest will work it self out with YouTube etc. I learned that I can use my iPad Pro as a second screen that is good to know I guess... we will see.
On the upside I have learned what 64GIG of RAM means. I put my QXD card with about 20 shots on it in the reader to import it and I did the normal things like keywords and hit the import button and it was done in seconds... My old PC with the same I7 processor and 16 GIG loaped along like a plow horse importing and building previews. That is no longer the case.
It seems I have a bit to learn about the beat but that will pass. I have time. I am sure there are a few that out here that might have some answers as well.
I have to say it makes post processing much nicer when you have less wait time.
