And on this day...

... I got another Sony RX100 Mark V.  I was going to get an Apple iPad Pro 2018 today but just came up financially short.  I wanted to get the Sony RX100 Mark VI today but I'll probably get that one in 2019 along with the 2018 Apple iPad Pro.  I just needed a backup camera quick today so if anything happens to my Sony RX10 Mark II, I'll have a backup for now.  I pretty much spent the day alone today which some days is needed.  I didn't even get a haircut today.  Tomorrow I guess.

I've been trying to upgrade the firmware on the Sony RX100 Mark V for about 2 hours without any success.  I've followed the instructions on both my Apple and Asus laptops and the connection keeps failing.  Both computers recognize the camera but neither will connect to it to run the update.  It's pretty weird.  I will try again tomorrow.

I also purchased Serrif' Affinity Photo for the Windows 10 laptop today.  I actually want to start using it in full in the new year.  I am glad I no longer use and pay for Adobe Photoshop.

Finally did it.

Switched to a Windows 10 laptop.  The hardware is great.  Great screen.  Fast bootup times.  No memory issues whatsover.  I will upgrade the second hard drive to a 1TB SSD instead of the 1TB 5400RMP mechanical hard drive.

So far I've noticed this laptop has a better keyboard.  Hard drive and memory are much faster and the graphics card is great.  I still haven't shot some footage to edit on this Windows 10 laptop.  I'm hoping I can do that this weekend.

The only bad thing about this laptop is the operating system.  Windows in all it's glory is a colossal failure.  Windows started sucking with Windows 8.  This is my first full day with the machine and I'm still running Windows updates on it.  It's been like this since about ten last night.  I have fast internet at home and at work and it's taking forever.  I would have been done with OS X updates already.  I am looking forward to getting the Apple iPad in the near future.

I have most of the programs I use to edit photos and footage on.  I'm just missing a video editor and Affinity Photos.  I think I'll get those this week when I get paid on Friday.
