Are the fans loud? How hot is his place? When was the last time his Mac was blown out? DC is not known for good weather in the summer. I assume that is a MBP. A1502 is an order number not a model

Re: Another senior with problems.

I clicked on "Pocket" where I have several sites stored, and found a menu but none of my info. Using Firefox but tried Brave too. Where has it gone and how to get it back? I can still save to it.
