Re: Which Mac group? The ALL MACS List!

Valter Psicoff, I'm interested in some older computers than the Power PC Macs. These computers are the so called "home computers". I own an Amiga A1200 with a Motorola 68020 CPU. This Amiga isn't set up to use the Internet, though. Some other computers which people seem to be fascinated with

Valter, you said "I have installed OSX 10.9 Mavericks, and most software has a version for it (you might have to look for it in some archives, though)." What I meant by my question is that I want to know WHICH archives you look in! AFAIK it's not the Apple website Developers area, not MacIntosh

Russell, I had lots of advice about buying a MacBook Pro (mid 2012), because it's fairly easy to upgrade. As for where I am, London at the moment. I managed to escape last year to Berlin, but I was forced back thanks to all the COVID-19 restrictions. I was still classed as a tourist and wasn't

I know this is the iMac group but I appreciate the email discussion and it looks like this is the only email group on Macs that has survived Facebook! I am on Facebook too but wow is it a time waster... I’ve done a lot of research on the older MacBook Pros and I think 2012 is where it’s at. I
