When life gives you ginger, you make...

Harvested from my backyard. In normal times, I would share this with my friends and neighbors.

I had this in the pan on my kitchen table when the morning light, coming from a window, shining on this raw ginger had me marveling at as simple a thing as ginger which, in normal times previously, I hadn't noticed at all!

While it turned out to be a simple process, I didn't know exactly how to go about it initially since I was using a USB Windows keyboard. Here's what I had to do restore it to factory settings: shutdown the system while simulatenouly pressing and holding Windows key + R key on windows keyboard, press and hold the Power button on Mac Mini until MacOS utilities dialog appears. Let go off the keys and power button now Erase (i.e.) format the disk using Disk Utility option from MacOS utilities dialog. Exit Disk Utility once formating is completed. choose Install MacOS option from the MacOS utilities dialog and follow the prompts. Installation may take over an hour.
