The last couple of days have been raining computers. A contact in Albany delivered another 5 eMacs to my house and my friend Rob informed me that he was cleaning out his workspace and needed to get rid of 30 perfectly good iMacs. These iMacs are the candy-coloured all-in-one machines which Apple introduced back in 1999. They ARE old, but still work well with their earlier operating system. I am able to place these machines loaded with educational games without having the headaches of internet connection. Usually the folks I give them to have another computer for internet access. My daughter Helen has placed a couple at her primary school where the educational games are used as a reward to individual pupils.
Some of the games which go with the iMacs.
On Monday, Helen and James are flying back home to W.A. from their family visit to Queensland. I think they will be happy to be in their own house again. I know I will be happy to see them again. Looking forward to some of Helen’s cooking.
The only semi-adventurous food preparation I have attempted over the last few weeks is making Biltong in Joan’s food drier. Great snack food, but very easy to pig out on. The recipe I am using has the beef sliced thinly in strips marinated overnight in soy and Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, with brown sugar, chilli powder and crushed garlic. The drying takes around 6 hours depending on the thickness of the beef strips. Google it for quantities.
