Hi Janina, What you describe is exactly why I often wait till summer to upgrade. It’s so frustrating to be trying to get something done, and be bogged down by Apple ****. I really don’t think they get that we just need things to work. They can introduce whatever new feature, but if you are a busy working person, you don’t necessarily have hours to sit down and read about all the commands that have changed, and the different ways you have to get things done. I’m not saying change is bad, but more and more I feel like I need to take a few days off from life every time there’s an Apple upgrade, just so I can read about how things work in the new OS. I don’t have time for that. Cheers, Donna
