You're a riot.
Among my roomful of machines I have a couple Apple computers, the newest (a few years old) being a Mini with 10.9. I know precisely how much (actually, how little) I've paid out in "upgrades" for their software over the years. So the last thing I need, first thing in the morning, is someone who by their own description has far less experience than I do with the topic, trying to give me a hard time and calling names.
BZZZT! Thanks for playing. Have a great day.
So you had a special free upgrade that others didn’t get for many years. You never did answer that.
