| 0:00.0 | Yeah, this is the beach setup, so it's like still the iMac Pro. |
| 0:03.6 | Did you use your fancy carrying case again? |
| 0:05.9 | Not only did I use my fancy carrying case, but it took underscores recommendation |
| 0:10.0 | and added for $35 a wheeled dolly to it, also known as a hand truck. |
| 0:16.8 | Because you can get like foldable light duty ones that weigh like six pounds and fold up to be |
| 0:22.1 | all flat and compact for like $35 an Amazon. So I got one of those. I carried it on the boat |
| 0:27.6 | with the dolly like in the pocket when it came time to carry it off the boat and walk it to the house |
| 0:32.4 | like a half mile away, I just stuck the wheels on. Did you discover a luggage dolly? Is that |
| 0:37.9 | what I'm coming in the middle of? Yes, yes, I discovered dollies. I use that one. I think I |
| 0:42.6 | described using that to take my Thunderbolt 27 inch Thunderbolt display to and from the Apple Store |
| 0:47.8 | like three times. Remember when I had to do that? Yeah, like now like if I have to take my iMac in again |

| 1:09.6 | four wheel kind just the basic two wheel kind. So it would fold up my sensing license and small |
| 1:14.0 | and it would be pretty lightweight itself. I didn't want like you know an extra 13 pounds of metal |
| 1:18.7 | for just this thing to make it easier for me to carry something like something smaller and lighter |
| 1:22.7 | was good but yeah I made it a million times easier. So now I'm even more a fan of this solution |
| 1:29.2 | of bringing my iMac to the beach with wheels now and I'm even less leaning in the direction of |
| 1:36.4 | a Mac Pro now because the iMac Pro is proofing to be such a good solution. You didn't even need |
| 1:41.7 | that fancy case. I think actually the original box if you still had it is even better because it's |
| 1:46.8 | like stiff you know so it's good. What I would use is the little like bungee cords or whatever to |
