Our walk this morning looped a mile over the bike-and-pedestrian path that runs adjacent to the Stanford golf course. As usual I pondered many weighty issues while I walked at a determined pace.
One momentous issue is whether the default Radeon HD 2600 graphics card in my new 8-processor-core Mac Pro is sufficiently powerful. I’ve handed this weighty issue off to dear friend Bahman Dara, who is a high-end graphics card guy at AMD.
