I am so tempted. Don't click buy. Don't click buy. I have a 2017 MBP with 16GB, it still runs ok, but the fan goes off and it's starting to feel a little laggy. I wonder what a souped up maxed out pro version can do.

The base versions still have 2 ports though. I guess that’s to be expected. It would have been nice if more. Also 16GB max memory.

Read Gruber’s review. The S1 needs less RAM, just like iPhones over Android, because of a few things (but mostly how Macs and iPhones handle object retention).

Thanks. That had a lot of detailed information in there many of the main media outlets did not mention and good links. I haven't been keeping up with Apple news, but this is a huge deal, but because it's not "flashy" maybe the run up to it was more muted? I dunno, maybe there was a lot written and I missed it.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By DaveP043 ·

      Something just popped into my head, based on your mention of the folks who "know the rules" but are generally wrong.  Another comment I read was "the Rules ALWAYS said.....".  When I come across those I often go to  www.ruleshistory.com to see if the rules ever said that.  You can find every (almost?) version of the rules since the first set in 1744.  Its fun to return to the conversation and say "You're a little bit right, the rules said that at one time, but that changed in 1984.  You've been playing under the wrong rule for 40 years!"

      St. Louis Area Golfers?

      By Rick_D ·

      Hi, checking back in to see if any St. Louis area golfers get together for a round or three during the year.  I have recently dropped my membership in a local league this year to work on my game and meet other people.  I would love to hear from anyone that would be interested in meeting for a round in the St. Louis area.   Rick
