<p class="">Being a long time World of Warcraft player and Mac user, I had wondered if World of Warcraft would be ported over to the new Apple M1 chip. About 10 p.m. Central time last night the following <a href="https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/mac-support-update-november-16/722775" target="_blank" rel="noopener">forum post </a>was made on Blizzard:</p>

<p class="">There are some days and events that always stand out in one’s mind. Being very interested in technology and computers throughout the years, August 24, 1995, is a day I’ll always fondly remember with fondness. It was on that day that Windows 95 launched. It had been much hyped with the start button and commercials playing the line from The Rolling Stones, “Start Me Up.”</p>

<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">There will be a new iPhone in September, as well as iOS 14. This is pretty much a given. I do hope the new iPhone will have either a 90 or 120Hz screen refresh rate. </p>

<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The main highlight for me was the release of the Mac Pro. I’ve always built my own systems in Windows and have long wanted a Mac where I could install my own graphics card, memory, storage, etc. The 2019 Mac Pro is an engineering marvel, and definitely my favorite product of 2019.</p>

<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Dictation by Blueshift has been released on the Apple App Store. The developer was kind enough to give me a prerelease version to test. Voice dictation has always been one of the most valuable features of the iPhone. Dictation is much more than a recording app. As you record, it transcribes in real time.</p>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I daily use a Mac as my main computer, although I also use a Windows computer occasionally. With time, I have grown to appreciate the ease and simplicity of the Mac, which is known to excel at media production. I rarely edit a video, but I have need to record and edit audio almost daily.</p>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Apple is holding an October event next Tuesday, Oct. 30. Regulatory filings in Europe show at least three possible Mac updates. There are also expected to be iPad Pro updates.</p>
