Just finished shopping on the Apple Store. To purchase an equivalent Mac Pro system that matches what I have now with speed, memory, disk and display it would only cost me $6015.95!
All so I can run iOS 9? Unacceptable!
I do not want to buy a lesser system like a Mac mini 1.4 because I'm concerned they will do the same thing to me as my G5, Mac Pro, iMac where they say they are no longer releasing an operating system.
I need to seriously look at moving to Windows 10 on my existing 64 bit system.
If i was you i would look in to Linux instead of Windows10 ...Perhaps go easy and pick ubuntu or Linux Mint..
There is a whole lot being done on Linux gaming and productivity tools is great on Linux..
Considering the horse power you already have. Linux will feel like your riding a formula one race car..
But Like a formula one race car ..There is little hand holding inside the os..For that kind of help you will need the community ..Thank god there is a "how to " for pretty much any thing you want to do..
i own a Macbook Pro 15-inch Core i7 Mid 2012. I went for this model instead of the first retina because i wanted to be able to upgrade the mem, and storage. So i did..
But my next rig will be a self build Mac-pro (old stile ) running Linux..
PS.. i have the option to update to "OSX El Capitan" But i'm still running Mavericks because i'm happy with it and don't like the new Siri settings and continue to work on all device feature ..Because even drafts that are unsaved get synced to the cloud.. i live in the EU and i like my privacy thank you very much ..
(that's just my two cents)
Don't like the new status bar. There is no space at the bottom that is a status bar, it just appears superimposed on the bottom of your page, when there is something to show, so it is appearing and disappearing, and covering up part of the page content when it does. Very distracting and annoying.
Do like:
I have bookmarks (for this forum, for example), where I have the five or so forums I read regularly all bookmarked and in a separate folder in bookmarks. For a folder like that, there is always the option to "Open in New Tabs", and that will open all five forums at once, each in its own tab. It is how I like to browse a forum like this that I read regularly. In the old Safari, when you did that, it wiped out any existing tabs you may have had open. Bad. The new version keeps the already-open tabs, and adds the new ones to the tab bar. Good.
