My newer laptop hasn’t been updated, so that will have to be my photo printer, which is annoying, since it is much easier to edit photos on the old iMac with the 24 in screen. Apple is making life as difficult as possible for those of us who don’t want to buy all new stuff every year or two. If you update software, you’re hosed. If you don’t update software, you’re incompatible or vulnerable. And every new Apple hardware design is something I like less than the previous version - I really do want an optical drive, and to be able to open up, repair, and upgrade my computer.
