Merry Christmas!! (Unless you are on the other side of the international date line, in which case: Happy Boxing Day!) Since this is my year-end issue, and it's a holiday, here's something a bit different: I'm sharing the most popular and most intriguing articles from each month this last year.
Before that, though, three news items:
Apple released Final Cut Pro v.10.7.1 which fixes two relatively arcane bugs. I've upgraded to this version and have not had any problems.
OWC wrote a forceful blog on the dangers of upgrading macOS too soon. This reinforces my cautions to always wait before upgrading because upgrading macOS carries a risk of workflow damage that might require workarounds.

Finally, this holiday season I wrote a personal story of a gift that was especially meaningful to me.
