Condolences, Brent. Hugs your way.

And now what did you do TODAY?
Sure, chairs are more comfy than a bench if there's not a wall behind.

IMHO that table is begging for another bench. First anniversary present? Awesome job indeed.

Sometimes suggestions bot at YouTube finds good stuff, or of my liking, which probably isn't the same.

I get to go to work almost daily by walking a bit less of a mile. Joining you would be most complicated. Charles Lloyd - 8: Kindred Spirits (Live from the Lobero)

Horrible days. It comes to my attention that musicians are being way less fortunate falling sick from that fucking virus than actors and other artists. I'm wondering if they made lesser money. RIP Bill, Bucky, Marcelo, Mike, Wallace and Manu

The Never Ending Search for a Music Server
Some relative in law has one of those Raspberry thingies that a friend built for him. It sounds pretty good, he controls it with the iPhone (maybe it's an Android phone, not sure). It plays whatever there's into the HDD he feeds it. It sounds pretty good. Not his vinyl rig good, but not bad at all.

Mine is a 2010 MBP which I upgraded to 250GB SSD (removing the optical drive) and added RAM up to 8GB. It's only a Core 2 Duo. I've just learned that Parallels is free for 14 days, then it's 80€/year. Not happy paying for something work related. I guess I might find older "free" versions of IE remote desktop for Mac, but I wouldn't like to use anything remotely contaminated for this work application.

Interesting. Looks like IE Remote Desktop doesn't exist anymore (in Spain at least) but looking for IE Desktop in the AppStore found "Parallels Desktop" which seems should be able to run Windows apps. If IE works I should be ready to go. I'm going to get this new Parallels and see what it does. I tried Wine some time ago for other software apps and stopped using it, not really satisfactory on an older Mac. I should give it another try for IE, thanks for the reminder.

Thank you but I can't do that exactly like you say. By HP I was meaning Hewlett Packard the company developing the piece of shit software that was sold to our very large hospital. I can't openly discuss why or how they made such a foolish decision. I don't have the permissions to set up anything on any computer at work, other than logging into the network and using the software. That would only be allowed if you have a relatively updated IE version, the ones working on W8 and later. Supposedly for security reasons. All they're going to do is delivering to us the permission to access the internal network from our homes if we have such IE. But from your post I should be able to get some workaround using a ghost intermediary computer with Windows installed, were I able to get MS Remote desktop working in my Mac. Thanks! Any other suggestion shall be very welcome

It's to be able to use a HP piece of shit that they're using in my workplace to access a rather large database. For some reason the software is embedded into IE browser. It has to be a relatively modern IE version. My problems are that my Mac is rather old so I don't have much of the SSD space free to install Windows, and that I don't have a Windows 8 or higher to install it using Bootcamp or Fusion. If I can't get this working I won't be able to do some work from home. With the quarantaine I'd much better work from home. My plan B is borrowing a Windows laptop, but I'm having trouble with that too.

Is there any secure way to use Internet Explorer on a Mac without installing a Windows? I would need to do that for work reasons.

Yup, with some rhythmic epic touch that reminded me of a movie soundtrack vibe.
