Okay, maybe I should have been a little more specific here. This isn’t my first Mac, just my first MacBook, and first computer with an SSD. My first day with it went well. As an assistive technology instructor in Training, I wanted to prove to myself and everyone else that the Mac can be used In a professional setting, with Pages and numbers, mainly. This would also be the Mac which I use for most of my computing needs, not just as a training tool. Training tools don’t cost, originally, $1000, LOL.
