[QUOTE="BobHas, post: 1938682, member: 387208"] Hi Dave, I am basically dealing with not even web browsers are remaining compatible with High Sierra. Also, the old machine seems to have developed problems in software and/or file system. Lots of odd and lengthy stuff going on, etc. Backups both to TM and a hard drive starting getting errors (although somehow a try with the TM yesterday resulted in a VERY long run but seeming to complete eventually. I am REALLY trying to preserve everything on the old machine, particularly the relly large mail files - they go back through about three computer generation (I use POP for my main mail to do that). I am trying to be as careful as I possibly can be to minimize the risk of loss. Say through a failure in something like First Aid or whatever file system repair. It would be nice to use both computers networked together to get a files, or maybe target mode so the new one sees the disk on the old one. At the moment the old one has two monitors going through DVI to TB/TB2 adapters. There are also USB 2 ports and a few others on the old machine. I beleive the "new" one has USB 3 ports and two TB3 ports (USB C?). BYW I noticed stuff about setting up a local network. As I understand it that would use the Ethernet connections. Both machines have their Ethernet connected to the Verizon FiOS "router". I poked into that but did not succeed to getting a working scheme, The ideal on that would be the machines seeing each other as well as the rest of the Ethernet setup. [/QUOTE]
