Glad to see you back Vibeke.

I think you are the first of us to go M series. Will be very interesting to hear more when you have used it a bit.

Whenever I do a big change or upgrade I use a series of books called 'Take Control'. Each book covers a particular aspect of Mac use and operating systems in depth. They are only a few dollars and you can download them. I find them absolutely invaluable - especially when I moved up to Big Sur and Monterey which were a major change with many small differences from their predecessors.

They are very clearly and simply written and full of information I would not have otherwise known. They really do help me get the best out of my machine.

They have a book on the new M Series and what differences to expect. How to migrate your old system and how to get the best out of the new system and technology. You can find it here: https://www.takecontrolbooks.com/m-series/

I would say a few dollars well spent!

Thank you David, I will have a look at the books. I'm loving my M1. Still busy getting it set up and everything back. As my old computer had died, I have to remember what I need/want. I haven't had time to do any heavy editing yet, but one surprise is how much faster it is to download from my cloud backup. I always assumed it was slow due to throttled bandwith.

Mariner, I love the colour choices, It really livens up the building. Ant, I laughed with your one. Very witty.

Nice work everyone. Sorry I can’t come out to play this week.

Anna I do like your entry. Plenty of work in there. Did you use Realflow for the water?

Thank you all for your comments.

Michael, I must say the train is my favourite. Unexpected and it works well. And Loyd, using the windows as the focus is very clever.

Nice work everyone - some colourful entries and animations - nice portrayal Anna, love Michael's train.
I wasn't too inspired this week - been battling a bout of COVID all week.

Anna, the previous tenant was a discotheque, they left the lighting behind...

Michael you have been busy this week. Don't know why, but I find the simple clouds incredibly satisfying.

Loyd that's a very unexpected shift of emphasis. What fun.
