I just upgraded this weekend. Got tired of being an antiyosemite...
Like dayglored, I don't like the flat look, but it is noticeably faster.
And it did give me the option of NOT being connected to the cloud. Just what I want, every scrap of data I own being elsewhere! NOT!
Thank you— for the info and the road to “cloud free”. The only thing clouds present is inability to see, and the clouding of thought and creativity.
I’ll look into it. PM you if any questions on the how to/ where etc.
