Don’t take it for granted.
Sending good thoughts forward and hoping for the best good. It’s a privilege to be in a position to help.
Sad to send a MacBook Pro to the recycle bin. 2008 15”— Obsolete I think by now. Battery expanded in the chassis and now the cooling fans run constantly and firmware no longer sees the internal hard drive. Was my favorite notebook ever.
Sometimes I just fire Front242 into my eardrums as loud as I can take it.

I’m happy to see people are still actively experimenting with Web design and interactivity. I’m looking forward to new things that work.
