Well that's the last time I try to add something new here.
OH gawd no! Never let someone else's lack of proficiency with something trample your success or expression of it!
Our abilities vary. That's it.
My first experience with a computer was a Magnavox. OK, yeah, that should tell you when that was. It had the amazing ability to make stuff vanish without a trace. You might find it in 6 months, a year, or never.
I've had hand-me-down Macs ever since, never a new one but what was top-line one or two generations before. Macs are basically stupid-proof. You have to work at it to lose your work. Got a lot of add-ons, upgrades, security, air-gapped back-ups (in case of ransomware or such I can just wipe the whole thing and boot from backup and only lose the last few weeks of activity).
Speed? Not. A. Thing. Computer's very fast, SSD's all around. But rural internet SUCKS BIG HAIRY BULL BALLS. Downloads can take hours. Uploads even slower. My email literally says "No Internet Connection" at the top of the screen because it fails to detect the connection. So no streaming for me.......
