Thanks Larry and all.

@Handrawn, re: Mac mini - yes (and no!) If I were totally honest with myself I probably should have stuck with Windows!!!

I don't regret getting it at all, in fact there's a lot to like, the speed especially and the almost instant awake from sleep, and I know there's much more to discover. It's just I'm still fingers and thumbs and frustrated, particularly with the change of keyboard shortcuts for simple tasks like cut and paste. (Cmd-c instead of Ctrl-c, etc). I'm also having to get to grips with new apps. So all these things interfere with workflow and quite often stop me in my tracks. I know it will get easier as the days pass.

On a positive note, I've just upgraded my ancient copy of ArtRage and have been experimenting with non-vector painting which has been quite liberating for doing loose sketching and watercolours. It has an innovative feature for rotating the canvas which is wonderful for sketching. Cheers, Jono
