Thanks, not sure if I will be in a huge hurry to upgrade it, and if I did I may let my friend who has a computer shop here in Cary do it, since he is an apple tech, I fix his Duramax pickup and he fixes my computers. my boyfriend got his new MacBook Air with the new chip, and he used it for a partial days work, and says well, I guess your right, Apple is a far superior computer, he said it didn't act stupid at all, and it is so nice not to be swearing at the computer. The awesome thing is since he moved in with me, we spent the morning getting his stuff from his parents house and his new computer, figured working from home we can choose the hours as long as we get the work done, we will be able to learn Big Sur together. overall I think he is happy I talked him into switching to Mac. I also told him to join this wonderful forum as well, told him there's a lot of awesome people here, especially since the last version of osx I used was lion, we both have a lot to learn likely.
