A little off topic but my early Mac club, the Beta Traders, had a motto. “If you have to read the manual, it’s not Mac enough” I’ve had a Mac since February of 1984. Still have it with the

Best take on that I’ve heard is someone wandering through the monkey field, stops, rips a page out of the typewriter (giggles), and says: Got it! “To be or not , to be, that is thrchxraohh

Interesting discussion. I had a similar one with my son and daughter-in-law last week. He's a successful YouTuber (I add successful because YouTuber still sounds so trivial to me) and his wife is a

International Harvester, the heavy truck division anyway, used Macs for years. Don’t know if they still do as it’s been years since I have needed parts for any “Binders”. Bob

New versions of Windows routinely take up a lot more space on one’s hard drive, and require more RAM. Because of this, many Mac users just assume that each new version of the Mac OS is going to

I am probably getting a new computer (looking at a mini) and as I started to look deeper, I realized my 2015 Imac running High Sierra had 1T of memory and I was using about 530 GB. And that seemed

Hi Harold, President Nixon used to say "Just because everyone is watching me does not mean I'm paranoid." Sadly, I agree with both you and Brent, in the slow but steady demise of the now long-gone
