I'm an "Apple fanatic", so much so that I have to have these:
1. 2018 MacMini for up to date stuff.
2. 64-bit Intel iMac.
3. 32-bit Intel iMac.
4. G5 iMac.
Because Apple with their obsession for making things obsolescent have left
me with an awful lot of very useful software that I have paid for (or
been paid with)
that I still wish to use, but could not were I always to use the "latest
and greatest."
My Spreadsheet-of-choice is still the one in ClarisWorks/AppleWorks 6.
Bryce 7 doesn't work on a computer running anything later than Mac OS
10.6.8.
HyperCard runs under the "Classic" thing on Mac OS 10.4.11 on one of my
2 G5 iMacs.
My "main beef" with Apple is their planned obsolescence linked with
their expensive hardware
means that while they can build fancy ring-shaped buildings . . .
Ok, OK, let's have an irrelevant fact here just to distract ourselves
from Apple's perfidy:
The famous Scottish film star David Niven introduced water-skiing to the
United States off Catalina island.

Agree!
With all the billions of $$$ Apple has, they certainly could have
afforded to maintain 32-bit compatibility for smaller developers who
can't afford to make every change Apple demands, but they make more
profits if they don't.
Sorry to any Apple fanatics. I just needed to vent my frustration at
Apple's dictatorial development model.

What a beautiful sounding name!
But MacOS Catalina is a pure killer. Killed my beloved LC 6/7
(I need for development of Raspi stacks) and sometimes need
for speed.
I learned LiveCode using LC 6 in 2013.
TMHO, LC 6.7.11 was the most complete LC version ever made.
May be I'll use one older machine only for using LC 6/7.
But it's kind of a burial. :-((
