Nice bike! I'd stick to the mouse and ditch the mug warmer myself, but I'd be careful with your hand gestures anywhere near the mouse – an unintentional swipe will alter the desktop view. The trackpads are used like swiping smartphone screens. Nice iMac btw! The screens are beautiful and the inbuilt sound is pretty good too. Have fun!

It's already USB out to an arcam dac to the marantz amp and mission speakers for sound.

Looking for some decent photo software next. Thanks again.

Affinity 1.5 anybody tried it. Looks good for under £40.

Re:

Not seen Infinity before but just had a look at the website and for around £40 it looks impressive. I've tried other apps and free ones like Gimp which is clunky to use. I use full Adobe Photoshop and CS everything at work but can't afford it myself for home. Infinity seems well worth a punt at that price and it looks like it compares favourably with high-end Photoshop.

Bought affinity. Now I need to watch the tutorials. Looks a bit like photoshop.

How does it compare in price?

I am a long time Photoshop user, but I recommend Gimp to anyone needing an economic yet super powerful alternative.

£38.99 one off payment. So far so good

Can't get on with those mice, they're so flat they hurt my hands. How's the tragic macpad?

Unused. Very weird. Does half the things like an ipad and half like a mouse. Did they catch on?
