Happy September and, in the States, happy Labor Day! Time marches on...
One of the reasons I enjoy reviewing and writing reviews of hardware and software is that I always learn something new that expands my appreciation for technology. This week's review of OWC's server is no different. Lots to learn!

Caution: Apple is getting ready to release an update to macOS Ventura: 13.6. When this is released, please hold off updating until we know the new version doesn't cause problems. For me, I try to wait a couple of weeks. If you are in the middle of a big project, hold off any updates until your project is finished. I expect this new release later this week.
I was REALLY impressed with the quality of comments to my post last week asking editors to "Share Your Process - How Do You Log Video?" Here's a chance to re-read this to see what others are doing.
