Last month, a tornado touched down in my front yard and ripped a giant oak tree out of the ground. It caused a lot of property damage that I’m still trying to repair. My cars were all damaged and that’s been a nightmare as I’m a car aficionado and have some very nice sports cars. It was pretty heartbreaking and still is.
The new Mac Pro 7,1 has been released (Dec 2019) and I had intended to get one in the 2nd quarter of this year (2020) but now those plans have been nixed. Since my insurance turned out to be less helpful than I expected, I’ve had to do some financial tap-dancing and I’m still shuffling my feet. Long story short, no new Mac Pro for me this year.
MacOS Catalina is working perfectly on my Mac Pro 5,1 so that’s a good thing. I still keep Mojave on there full time with a bootable backup. After all, it is the latest “SUPPORTED” macOS for my machine, and the last to support 32-bit applications, so I should, and will, keep it around for a long time to come. In fact, even if I had a Mac Pro 7,1 , I’dl keep my 5,1 for many years to come. Likely until it totally dies and gets resurrected a couple of times. I really love my 5,1.
Otherwise God has been good. My budget is tight, but I guess that’s the new normal at my age. Hopefully it won’t be that way forever.
