Mid 2007 iMac, methinks I’ll sit this one out.

The changes seem to be mostly application related, but same/improved kernel, correct?

I have a non-production 2012 iMac. Couldn’t hurt to check it out.

Time marches on, good to see new stuff coming out . . . but I think I may not adopt early, if at all. Certainly my older iMac, set up for my wife but little used, dates back to 2009 or earlier, and would not be worth upgrading to a more demanding OS.

I can see the theoretical advantage of tabs in Numbers, but realistically I haven’t used Numbers much lately, other than as a sophisticated calculator - so expanded capability in it isn’t exciting.

Enjoy the convenience and security of Apple Pay when you shop on the web.

• Use Apple Pay to make easy, secure payments when shopping in Safari on your Mac.
• Complete your purchase with Touch ID on your iPhone or with your Apple Watch.

Presumably my wife’s iPad Pro would enable me to use this, tho they don’t mention that explicitly. I wonder what makes this better than using Apple Pay - which I have never used, but like in theory - directly on the iPad itself?

On the old iPad2 I have, I tried to upgrade to the latest security patch without success; says I’m short of space but I’m buffaloed trying to clear space out. I have some old talking book files that seem to amount to enough space to possibly make the upgrade work - but with all good will, I just have not been able to follow the directions I’ve been able to find. You would think I would be able to just highlight them and delete them, but no joy so far. Love GUI - when I don’t hate it . . .
