I'm a Mac user and recently upgraded to Catalina. Big mistake!

I bought Microsoft Office back in 2013 and it still does everything I want it to do. I have no need to upgrade to the latest version, and I'll be damned if I am going to shell out $20 a month or whatever it costs to have a subscription to software that I don't use a lot. Welp, it quit working because Office 2013 is 32-bit, and catalina doesn't allow that.

Ditto for a couple games I still play, and some utility software I use to spy on people through their webcams.

Anyway, I'm fortunate because I'm a just geeky enough to run backups a lot, and I was able to restore my Mojave build without losing any work.

If you are a Mac user, be warned. Also, think this new 16 inch MacBook will actually be worth upgrading to? I'm still rocking a mid-2012 and it's working like a champ.
 
Macs are for lefties and artsy fartsy kind of people. Go out right now and buy a real computer with Windows or Linux installed.
 
BTW the webcam comment is kind of creepy.
 
Top of the line MacBook over $7000. Who would pay that for a mac??

Do you even know what OS/X is built on? Jobs put it on top of Unix at NeXT and when he came back to Apple he ditched their OS in favor of his. So like Linux, OS/X is basically Unix with a few wrinkles. I like the operating system a lot, but if I didn't I would be using Linux, which I've known since the mid-90s (I thought I could make money off it way back when).

I love Macs because their hardware is excellent and I can use all the old Unix/Linux commands to get shit done when the interface isn't enough. I still remember how to use Vi, for what it's worth.
