Welcome back.
*******************
There comes a point in every hardware’s life where it’s really past the time to put any new/updated s/w on it.
Software and hardware are largely written for each other over a span of a few years (software can easily overload any hardware).
I have some of sets of hardware/software from various periods from about 1992. When properly paired, they still work great, but most peeps would relegate them to (low rent) museum status.
Thanks!
I like the hardware, don’t like the new stuff which revolves around reducing user input and increasing push content and ecosystems.
Plus, wow, the prices on the Mac stuff (sorry fellow Apple users). I’ve got a free MacBook in the other room that I plan to upgrade for mem, SSD, and battery — then upgrade to one of the Intel Mac Linux flavors, just to make it convenient to use online and with modern ware.
Meanwhile, I’ve been very satisfied with the dirt-cheap Asus laptop I use for online bill pay and banking and whatever else. Probably my next new computer will be a Raspberry Pi or one of those windows sticks, plugged into the big flat screen TV.
