No, Doug. Buy more RAM and storage than you can afford. Sell your car, your boat, or your kids to raise the extra. I mean, nothing in life is as important as having enough RAM and storage, right? Oh, shoot. I forgot about CPU speed. Double whatever you think initially and sell your house to

No matter what you think, and no matter what others think, you will always want more RAM and storage later on. So best advice is to start with as much RAM and storage as your budget allows, and then squeeze more juice out of the carrot and move up to the next higher amount of RAM and storage.

Yes, the problem is some of these notifications are at the system level. The suggestion to go into System Settings under General and login items can affect some of them, but it’s probably not a good idea to turn things off unless you know what they do. Take Care John D. Panarese

Do a VO O to bring up your notification center. Interact with Notifications and do a VO Command Space on each group. You will then be able to clear them. You wil have to do this for the log on ones every time you restart. > On Feb 6, 2023, at 08:58, Dave Carlson wrote: > > I’ve been getting
