The 2015s used the “MagSafe 2” version of the adapter and you will need to use 
an adapter to use the earlier MagSafe power cable if that’s what you end up 
with. I thought I had an extra one, but it’s the 60W for the 13" models and not 
the 80W required for the 15". Sorry.

I love the heck out of 1Password. A couple of computers and three iOS devices. 
Works great and you can keep all manner of secure stuff in it, not just 
passwords. It works with Safari and can save your website logins easily. Also 
works like a charm with fingerprint ID on iOS.

[MacGroup] Late To The Game

[John Robinson]

Am I dreaming or is High Sierra MUCH faster than Sierra?

I’ve had to want for an investment firm I use to get their software updated for 
High Sierra, which they finally did on Friday, so I’ve move to H. Sierra today.

Instantly I seemed to think EVERYTHING was MUCH quicker, for instance.

The new Fortune came today, I cut the binder off and scan for a digital copy…(I 
yell at them often about their being a poor corporate citizen by not offering a 
PDF of their publication as it would save tons of trees, ink, labor, 
transportation, postage, and loading our landfills) but they pay little 
attention…most all firms have moved to the PDF files but Fortune and Forbes 
have not…must be a strong contract they live with.

I digress…

When the magazine is scanned into Adobe Acrobat I parse it to take out all the 
advertising, the small thumbnails “reload” once one is deleted, under Sierra 
and previous OS’s there was always a “lag” before the new thumbnails would 
redraw, now they are instantly calibrated with the new page numbers, there is 
no hesitation.

 Safari seems much quicker, I had several Audio Books I had downloaded and they 
were still in the download folder, I move them to another drive for safekeeping 
then delete them from downloads…these files were moving much faster, much.

Mail loads quicker, everything I’ve tried so far is greatly increased and this 
is on a 2011 MacPro, not a new machine by any means…

It could be my age, it could be Apple has greatly improved it’s operating 
system…..

Since this Mac does not have a SSD it did not get Apple’s new file format…but 
I’m well pleased and would highly recommend the upgrade if you haven’t yet 
taken the plunge.

[MacGroup] MacBook Pro charger and password manager

[Dan]

Two questions:

1. Does anyone have an extra charging cable for a vintage 2015 MacBook Pro, (a 
5-prong connector that plugs straight in, rather than one of those that hugs 
the side of the computer) that they’d be willing to donate or sell?

2. Any recommendations for a password-keeping app that works, and syncs, on 
Mac, iPad and iPhone? I don’t need the most sophisticated one, but it must be 
easy to use and understand, since it’s for my spouse, who is always losing 
those little pieces of paper she writes the passwords down on.

Thanks.

Dan
