I doubt that it takes maybe 2', 3' tops. The worst is heating the machine up first thing in the morning if it's not on a timer.

I’m expecting delivery of a new Mac desktop today, my current machine has only 8 gb of ram and struggles to run my photo processor.
I use a 2nd monitor to view LR and PS at the same time.

I don’t think I could make an espresso prior to having coffee. Bit of a catch-22.

I took one of the TVs I use as monitors and set it up in Mom's room so she can watch TV the day after chemo treatment (she's usually wiped out the next day).
Unfortunately PS still thinks there is a second screen and displays all popups (Save As, most adjustment popups, etc) get displayed on the phantom monitor. I tried the ol' deleting preferences file trick, to no avail.

Also, did they go back to the cheese grater? I seem to remember hearing they did.
