We got our covalent Moderna boosters this morning at Valley Med – it was a smooth operation, as usual. They’ve made me wait 30 minutes for all four of the previous vaccines, but this time they let me go after the normal 15 minutes.

I’m a little bit achy and my arm is sore, but I don’t expect to need Tylenol. Diane’s reaction this time is less than previous shots.

The Windows Experiment went pretty well – well enough that I deleted my photos, music, and pretty much everything else from the Mac partition and am reinstalling Windows to give it as much disk space as possible (888 GB). Tomorrow, we’ll try to copy Diane’s photo programs and libraries to the Mac; I picked up yet another SSD tonight in hopes of simplifying and speeding up the process.

Now that I’ve migrated to this nice M2 Mac Book Air, the next question is “what should I do with the Intel Mac Book Air?” I could try to sell it privately or trade it in at Apple, but I hope to be able to use it to run Diane’s Windows apps instead. It’s got twice the memory and four times the disk space of her existing laptop, and the processor is four generations newer, too.

This afternoon, I installed Windows 10 on a Boot Camp partition and then I installed trial versions of Diane’s mission-critical applications (Forever Artisan and Forever Historian) to see if they work. They seem to, at least to the extent that I use them; tomorrow, I’ll copy Diane’s data over and let her decide if it’s a plausible environment for her to use.
