Hello Graham,

I haven’t installed Sierra. 

I do not want to be forced to store or save things on anything other than my 
computer, I do not want my speed of access to documents to be governed by the 
number of people in my suburb who are on the internet, and I have no wish to be 
working with my head in the cloud…

Cheers,

Michael
