[QUOTE="krs, post: 1811442, member: 67742"] "Save As....' disappeared from the File drop down in Lion - people complained enough and loud that Apple brought it back in a later OS. I thought that was well known - it was quite an issue at the time. It's not miising on Elcap which is what I am using myself right now, but that is not what we were discussing previously. I understand what you are saying (comparing it to paper from main frame printers), but on ElCap I sure don't have anything like that. Maybe there is an option I can enable that I have not found, or this is Apple's idea of fixing the problem I described. I found Apple has the habit of never wanting to asdmit they made a mistake and reverting back to the way a feature worked before. That happened with "Save As..." as well when they brought it back in a later OS. All I can say is that this is definitely a problem with ElCap. I'm using ElCap on a late 2012 Mini - that Mini was originally shipped with 10.8 so I'm not doing anything "funny" with it like with the 2017 MacBook Air. I have checked with others running ElCap and they have the same problem I have. But I'm glad to see that Apple is fixing these annoyances. No, "Out of Office" is totally different. The "bounce" feature would send a message back to the sender that the email address the original email was sent to does not exist. I used it regularly to reduce my email spm to basically nothing over the period of two years. People claim it doesn't work to reduce spam, that it actually creates spam, bt that is more theory because in practice it worked for me and others as well. And yes, one can write a script to do the same thing, but the discussion was about features that Apple had eliminated in future OS's Here is a bit of a discussion about 'bounce' disappearing [url]https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3194053[/url] Getting back on topic - Migrating from ElCap to a later OS. Back years ago, with the various versions of OS X, Snow Leopard was considered to be the best stable version of the group. There were very few new features in SL, Apple focussed at the time to clean up the OS, fix bugs and streamline the code. Turns out they did that very well, I migrated all the Mac in the family to SL, they all ran faster than before and there were very few problems. In fact, we only moved from SL to ElCap when some webinar software we needed to use on a regular basis was no longer supported on SL. Now, along those same lines, is one of the new versions of OS X, 10.12, 10.13 or 10.14 considered a "best stable version" to move to? Or are we not there yet? I would be interested to hear what people's experience is. I'm tempted to migrate one of our Macs to 10.14 to try it out. We don't need or will use any of the new features that I saw, so this is strictly to get to the next "best stable version" Hmmm... Just came across this - a long list of potential problems with a lot of basic capability [url]https://www.techradar.com/how-to/macos-1014-mojave-problems-how-to-fix-them[/url] Doesn't get me too exited to migrate to 10.14 at this time.
