Strange times. For the first time since 1997, we do not have a Mac in the house. Yesterday, I pulled our 2019 iMac out of storage in the basement for some routine maintenance. After waiting 10 minutes for it to boot up and another 10 minutes just to open a few apps (watching those Dock icons bounce up and down), I decided there really wasn’t a point in keeping the computer. We have a good half dozen iPads and many iPhones that get daily use. So we have plenty of computing resources and no plans to abandon Apple products. That said, it is still strange to not have a “real computer” in the house (ignoring our work-issued Windows laptops).
