Been an Apple user since the Apple III and then migrated to the Macintosh SE in '87. Stuck with Apple through thick and thin (the days after they fired Steve Jobs, the Pepsi guy, and later when they brought him back, and sadly when he died). I've owned more of their products over the years than I care to admit. I was generally happy with each, but I was really pissed when my 27" iMac was rendered effectively useless when it could no longer be updated to the latest system software, which in turn, killed the upgrade path for several software products I use for work (MS Excel, FileMaker Pro) and for play (Adobe Lr and Photoshop). Eventually I was forced (at the last minute for tax reasons) to replace the 27-incher for a dinky-sized 24" iMac. And buddy, I was aggravated by that wimpy, downsized monitor every damn time I sat down in front of it! The only escape was to dump the convenience of the iMac's one-piece design and go back to an external CPU (something I swore I would never do). Dumping the claustrophobic iMac 24 would mean shelling out for both the Apple 27" Studio Display I did want, and then choosing between the external CPUs I didn't want. The external options came in two flavors: too small and too expensive. In an effort to keep the price of the total package reasonable, I went with a Mac mini. To get over the "too small" issue, my brother and I cracked it open, yanked out its paltry 256GB SSD guts, and replaced it/them with a more reasonably sized 2TB SSD (the operation was a success). And you know what? Turns out that Mini ain't half-bad after all. And the 27" Apple Studio Display? Well that was the whole point wasn't' it? It's a great monitor--too expensive for sure, but I'm back in the land of 5k resolution with plenty of screen space, so I'm not complaining about it! However, as is par for the course, I understand Apple will be introducing a new 32 inch, 6K monitor in the near future. I very well might be complaining then!

Microsoft Excel 2010 - What-If Analysis icon
I often need large pictures of Microsoft Excel icons to use in my teaching and couldn't find them anywhere, so I created my own. A bit rough but hopefully it is useful to you as well.
You may be interested to know that I actually created the icon in MS Excel 2010 and then took a screen shot. The squares are rows and columns and the text at the bottom is entered in a merged cell. That is also why it isn't exactly the same as the original icon.
