Dear Greg,

Thanks for sharing your recent health ordeal. I'm glad you're finally on the mend. We'll look forward to seeing you when you can return to live meetings.

Good morning everyone,

The MacBook Pro from 2012 has been given to a student. Of the few people that sent me an email he was my one that had the most definitive plan of how it would be used and how it would help him.

We did a great job raising funds at Saturday’s meeting. I apologize for being late. Unfortunately I had to work till almost 6 o’clock that morning so I was very exhausted.

It will probably be at least another half a year or longer before I can return to in person meetings

I faced some prostate surgery. Once that’s done I have to wait two or three months and then they’re going to do the radiation to try to kill the cancer.

I would’ve accomplished all that this year unfortunately, after my prostate biopsy, I developed a UTI, which they thought they had cleared up  And the prostate swelled a bit and cut down my urine flow. I retained about 1200 cc of fluid in my bladder which got further infected because the other UTI hadn’t actually completely cleared as much as they thought it had. Then I could Covid the one and only day I went outside my house . I had a friend drive me to the DMV to get my state ID renewed and two days later, he called me and told me he tested positive and has severe symptoms. Fortunately, my symptoms of Covid weren’t too severe, mostly lethargy. I was already dealing with shortness of breath so that didn’t help matters terribly well.

My shortness of breath started after I had an acute allergic reaction to the COVID-19 booster last November. The idiots had it tromethamine as a stabilizer. Unfortunately, that was a bad mistake on their part since a large percentage of our population has, and may not always know that they have allergies to it. The CDC feels that it’s probably about a half 1 million people worldwide that have that allergy which really stunned me that people didn’t take that into consideration when doing the boosters.

The lethargy from the COVID-19 coupled with fighting what became a systemic infection left me completely bedridden for about six weeks from the end of July through  Early September.

It got bad enough that I had to use a walker to get around my house because the shortness of breath would leave me literally restless for 15 or 20 minutes after doing simple things like preparing food loading or unloading the dishwasher.

I was onto IV antibiotics and three oral antibiotics for almost 6 months. 

This was the primary reason why things got pushed off. Although I said it was because of client activity, that was a bit of a fib.

May God bless each and everyone of you and your families. I wish everyone happy holidays.

I really miss seeing all of you in person.

Good good evening everyone,

My best friend Michael Cicchetti passed away on Thanksgiving from fibrosis of the lungs. He has a MacBook Pro from 2012 that is running high sierra. It also has an SSD in it that I put in to replace the hard disk and some additional memory

I?m going to make this available as a gift to anyone that needs it. Before I ship it, I?ll place a fresh copy of High Sierra on it so it?s pretty much gonna be brand new as far as software goes and all you have to do is configure it with you know your network settings or your user credentials that you care to use .

I would ask that whoever receives it covers the cost of freight to send it to them which is a pretty incidental cost compared to having to buy a new MacBook.

The MacBook comes with its wall charger. Michael also had a lot of portable, hard drives, but it?s gonna take me some time to go through all the rest of the equipment that i am ?trying to figure out what to do with?

I wish I had money to give to everyone but unfortunately it?s going to be first come first serve.

I?ll ask one question so that if I get multiple request for it, I could try to make a good assessment as to who would benefit from it the most.

I don?t need proof, but I would like to know a little bit about your situation and how you would make use of the device. Learn how?
