My D&M Drive was relegated to the sidelines!

So! It happened!! After a long long wait, I finally got myself a new guitar!! And yes this was one I fell in love with!! It is a Pro-Mod San Dimas® Style 2 HH HT M Okoume, Maple Fingerboard, Natural from Charvel, and it was the natural finish, coupled with the Tele shape (and black hardware) that caught my eye!!
And this is the review.....

Apple Mac Mini 2018 : Wifi and Bluetooth issues : RANT . Not impressed with interference issues that this machine has with my usb hubs.
Since getting my new Mac mini I have nothing but problems with the Mac connecting to my wifi firstly and then connecting to my wireless bluetooth mouse. Each would not connect, or if it did would quickly drop the connection or be extremely sluggish.
THE SOLUTION
Unplug my USB hubs and then everything worked fine….THIS IS NOT a solution!!
Try turning off 'Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices'
Yes it is unboxing time again, this time the fantastic Lunastone True Overdrive 1! Built by some guys who left TC Electronic, this is going to be an exciting pedal!! Let’s find out.
Enjoy
