I bought a new iMac when I retired. That was eight years ago. It was finally time to retire that machine and invest in something new. I bought a Mac mini and a 30-inch Samsung monitor and now am trying to recreate my collection of tools from scratch. The iMac will reside at our lake place for a while.
I got to the point where a few of the apps I wanted to run required the newest Mac OS. I am also discovering that some of the apps I used to run will not work on the newer machine. I am caught in between and this is the reality of progress. I will have to have to find new options.
