Yes I agree and found my enthusiasm for the 'latest and greatest' cooled over the years :) I never install a major OS release until the .3 although I guess I could do it earlier.
I have been late with installing Sierra and would normally have it done by now, but having a solid working system with El-Cap, I’ve not felt the need to meddle. Still, I shall have to bite the bullet sometime…. Interesting re iStat Menus as I think I installed it sometime in the past and subsequently deleted it although I don’t doubt there’s something still there in the bowels of the OS. We’ll see although hopefully any problems will have been fixed by 10.12.4 Incidentally I’ve found a small menulet that monitors iCloud Drive activity: iCloud Status http://www.thealchemistguild.com/icloudstatus/ That said I think iCloud Drive may do stuff in the background even when the machine is asleep. > On 5 Mar 2017, at 01:03, Macs R We <[email protected]> wrote: > > I dunno.
