| Leaving Los Angeles on the Metro Expo E Live towards Santa Monica, from off the 550 to Exposition Park from Manchester at Harbor Freeway (110). |
I found a great deal while browsing craigslist on the notion that I'd been hitting a wall with my iPad (iPigeonPad) development efforts under my annual term I'd purchased with the Apple Developer Program. Only $150.
In order to do some essential tasks, render services, issue certificates; that sort of thing, for my mock-up conceptual Apple iPadOS, iOS, tvOS, and watchOS, I'd need a dedicated Xcode Apple development machine. I found a great deal on a 2010 21-inch iMac i3 with a 2TB upgraded hard drive, and 12 GB of RAM. I figure I could get in to some serious repository local serve development aspirations and Android NDK and SDK for my Google and Android developments, as well.
The seller, upon working out some details on my own end, as to how I could find this transaction, was very accommodating of my ostensible needs for this machine (in that I could OK longer return the iPad to Target, and he agreed to take up my offer of an even trade for his iMac, with my iPad).

I decided to jump the gun and settle for a trade, for a well-equipped and upgraded older device, in this instance, for the fact that I figured that people were pushing for Christmas deals, and Christmas devices, this month, moreso than they might be next month.
