That's for sure. I miss the Jobs days.
I am running High Sierra, reluctantly. I was completely happy with Mavericks. I don't like being forced into an upgrade I don't need, or want. Saying that because...
A year ago, my computer needed a new hard drive. Not that big a deal, but when at the Apple store, I asked about help with partitioning. I wanted to keep Mavericks because it was still compatible with several of my "legacy" software. I was/am using Adobe Photoshop CS5, bought in the suite I needed for college classes. Of course, Adobe won't update that to run with Apple's new software, and I'm not buying (literally!) into the stupid subscription-based software Adobe now sells. (I use mainly Affinity Photo for photo editing, now.)
I was asked why I wanted to partition to be able to run a legacy OS, and when I explained why (as above), I was pretty much just poo-pooed, and giggled at. Yeahhhh,,,
I don't want a blasted iPhone, and I really don't appreciate my laptop, tablet, and desktops being made to run as such. Blech! I want and need a REAL computer, not a glorified smartphone.
Off my rant, and on to reading the posts. Sorry!
