The Fedex delivery came Thursday, but have had little time to spend with the new family member. Have 30 day escrow just starting out and still use the old laptop. The 11 inch screen is taking some getting used to, but zooming is easy and you sit pretty close to it. It is not a computer I'll be showing people stuff on. It is a very PERSONAL computer.
Love the keyboard- great feel and the backlighting is nifty and sorta cheery. Starting to learn the gestures for the big trackpad.
For those who care it's a MacBook Air 11 inch with i7 1.8 Sandy Bridge CPU, 4GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. I'll get an LED monitor to use for editing photos and such. Also some external storage--my old laptop has well over 200GB of stuff on it, so I will not be bringing that data over. Just need to find it, when needed.
Spent the day Thursday last at Planning Commission re the vacation rental issue--and after I rushed back following a hurried trip to Los Osos to check on business at lunch they postponed the hearing. Probably a good thing because the Commissioners were in a cranky and irritable mood by then anyhow. I'm sorta glad I spent the morning down there because I had an insight to two regarding the first item--I'll address that in the next post.
To give you a little tease, the AM was spent in micro analysis of some environmental aspects of a proposed subdivision in a very sensitive and well known area. Copious amounts of info were available, but that wasn't enough to satisfy neighbors or the Commissioners. In contrast there is virtually NO information about the performance of the present vacation rental ordinance and no analysis of how the proposed changes might alter that performance---and the Commissioners, staff and public seem just fine with that. The data are available in the form of TOT/BID info by house and by month, but no one seem the slightest bit interested in doing the analysis. Soooo the issue is--- environmental impacts vs economic impacts of public policy decisions.
Big difference---why? More in next post.
