[QUOTE="Mr. D, post: 1743209, member: 192476"] It's ridiculous that computer speed is such an issue! The only thing that bothers me about using the old iMac is the startup time, or if you are doing something like processing a movie. For these prices I'll keep it & maybe give it away to someone that has the "good sense" to see its value. My wife uses it & doesn't see any difference except she says, "It takes a long time to startup!" I may go back to OS 10.8.6 & eliminate the long startup plus being able to use a lot of old apps I love.... that have not been improved for the needs of average user, in my judgment. I have two new 2016 Fords that are keyless! Big whoopee! Was turning an ignition key that big a problem??? Now I have to carry a new lumpy electronic key instead of the three small keys I used to carry! Big whoop! It's good for women that can't find their keys in a disorganized purse.... but for me "Big Whoop"! I don't know the right thread for this.... BUT can someone give me a direct link the Pages Update... PLEASE! The Apple Site confuses me! Search for anything simple such as "Pages Update" & you get reams of blah blah blah instead of the link to the updater! I'm sure I the one confused, BUT I can find things easily on any website BUT Apple's Website. It's like markets that put the same items in 4 places to make you walk the whole market TO BUY MORE! In my local market there are 4 different sites to find Hershey's chocolate syrup... BUT only one has the low calorie syrup I use! Just like Apple.... why make it simple!! [/QUOTE]
