We were forced to take a week off, but we're back again with another episode! This week Kirk decided to pass on the new 2018 Mac Mini and instead bought himself a used 2009 Mac Pro for a wicked deal, so we talked all about the upgrades that are coming to that machine! We also discussed further developments with the RAW art showcase in St. John's and our first time holding the 2018 iPad Pro!
