Technical Difficulties

Last year... Google stopped updating their web browser on my desktop computer, because the operating system is too old.  In an era was cyber security is a priority, as soon as I could afford it... I had to replace my old iMac with a new one.

I wasn't stoked about dipping into savings, but ultimately I bit the bullet and made the purchase at the start of the holiday break.  Although it wasn't scheduled to arrive until the second week of January, I picked it up two days before New Year's.

Unfortunately... when I started setting it up... I immediately ran into huge issue.  My old scanner and hard drive utilize USB cords... which aren't compatible with the new computer.

How did this impact the blog?  Well... no scanner means no new scans... which means no new card posts.  That's why my last post only utilized photos.

The good news is the new scanner has arrived and I've been familiarizing myself with the new photo editing software.  It's time to start hammering out some posts.  I already have a Flea Market Find post planned for tomorrow and another post on deck (just waiting for Roki Sasaki's decision).

In the meantime, here's a final "photo" post to keep you occupied as I warm up the new scanner...

Dennis over at Too Many Verlanders hooked me up with this acrylic Tony Gwynn replica Hall of Fame Plaque.  When you factor in the wooden base, it measures about 7" tall.  Here's a better look at the engraved nameplate:

Space is limited on my Padres shelf... so I've gotta figure out a place to display this awesome addition to my Gwynn collection.  

Thank you Dennis for this awesome Christmas present!  If things went as planned... I shipped out packages to you, John, Stuart, and Reader X right around the time this post was published.

And thank you to everyone else for your patience.

Happy Monday and sayonara!
