Until about two weeks ago, I was running a circa 2013 MacBook Air. The last couple of OS updates seem to have slowed it to a crawl.

I hit the bullet and upgraded. Nine years is a heck of a good run, considering what I used to get out of MS based laptops over the years.

I might fire up the old one, clean it off and bring up something simple from scratch, but it’s great to have a zippy machine again.
