[Jeremy Garchow] “And there’s this, which is a laptop boot drive:”
Sweet, isn’t it? I have the same machine and this week I’m setting up four similar ones for my partners in LA. Grinning ear to ear every time I reboot in under 15 seconds. Enjoy your new rocketship and happy holidays! 🙂

[Craig Seeman] “It’s interesting that the Sharp display went away so quickly though. Perhaps they decided they didn’t want to sell a competing monitor as a new (not necessarily 4k) Apple Display will be coming out with the MacPro.”
I hope that’s the case. As you’ve pointed out, the current Thunderbolt display is really long in the tooth. Those port upgrades are especially essential for new retina laptop users who need to use the monitor as a dock. That’s what I’m waiting on. 4K would be nice but Thunderbolt 2 and USB3 are way more important.

[Chris Harlan] “I quite enjoyed that! I’m not sure there are many people on the planet who can honestly say that.”
Me too. Thanks for the post Jeremy!

I’m just looking forward to replacing my 24″ Apple Display with something bigger and better.

[Jeremy Garchow] “I was tired of paying for what I didn’t want, but had to pay for it in order to get what I really wanted (HBO et al).”
Again, that reminds me of a certain software company, lol! 😉

[Jeremy Garchow] “To me, it’s so easy. Stop punishing your current and loyal customers.”
Kinda like a certain software company that comes to mind… 😉

[John Davidson] “It drops down there because of the macbook limitations though, right? I would expect the Mac Pros to have no such limitations (knock on wood).”
Hmmm, I don’t know. Would be great if it worked better with new MacPro or new Retina MBPs (he was testing with last year’s). I’m in the same boat as you re: 4K jobs (only one has crossed my desk in the past 5 years). What I’m more interested in is a retina quality large screen monitor. My new retina MBP has spoiled me. By comparison, my Cinema Display looks rather meh. Hoping Apple will update Mac OS to take advantage of high density displays beyond the laptop (if they haven’t done so already).

Definitely interesting. In addition to possible color issues, the Cheezycam review says it drops down to 30hz which is a bummer. Still, at that price very tempting and hopefully points to better quality affordable 4K displays soon. Thanks for posting.

[Jeremy Garchow] “To add to that, I just watched a doc called “A Band Called Death”.”
Sweet! Awesome trailer and I’ve heard the film is great. Definitely on my list!

[Jeremy Garchow] “History is not about selling you the tune up, it’s about how they said it, where, and why society needed that tune up in that particular time. “
Exactly right. Context is everything. What might seem worthless today may be priceless tomorrow. Here’s another great example of how history was almost lost:
The Day My Grandfather Groucho and I Saved ‘You Bet Your Life’
