macOS Monterey

Last night I update my iMac to Monterey 12.3.1 from Big Sur. It seems to run a bit faster and smoother. In the new version one can finally customize the pointer – mine is bright green and a bit larger than standard. Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop seem to like Monterey, but my Banktivity v 7 is totally broken, I have put in a support ticket with them. I don’t want to update to v 8 as it is a subscription plan, we will see.

Decivilization continues in the land of gun control and democrat rule. 44 shot, 6 dead over last weekend.

How’s gun control for the law abiding, no arrests for the crime committing thing working out?

The run-up in the share price has been huge. Since Nadella was appointed CEO of Microsoft in February 2014, following the retirement of Steve Ballmer, shares of Microsoft have risen by 800%, in a near perfect and dizzying exponential curve that defied gravity, with well over half that gain in the last 20 months, giving the company a market capitalization of $2.5 trillion.

The Nasdaq fell 2.6% today and is now again down over 20% from its peak last November. A lot of stocks got hammered today. But it was the giants that stole the spotlight. They’re now letting go.
