    Its almost as if there were some big event... perhaps even a world wide conference of some kind... that was going on today and regarded apple technology. If only I could find some information about it....

    Hey, my 2008 octocore xeon Mac Pro with 32GB RAM & Samsung 850 Evo SSD's apparently isn't good enough to run new versions of macOS either, lol.

    Runs Windows 10 great though. And OS X El Capitan when I need it.
