2. 11 is pretty old. The app store says 12. I brought intel systems up to Mojave 10.14 Reason below.

There was Mojave 10.14, the last MacOS to run 32-bit apps. IIRC
I told a friend not to upgrade past this if he wanted his old 32-bit apps to run.
Catalina 10.15 put an end to that.
Then came 11, the new number scheme.
I take Ventura, MacOS 13 to be a landmark, due to support of many ios apps on Apple Silicon.

And yes, upgrades piss me off. Even Ventura made many changes (especially in finder changes and settings, which Apple scrambled, running counter to years of experience). So, a damn lot of help articles are just wrong. And who sets a date range on search every time?

Gripes to github.

Meh. Requires OSX 11.0 or later. Not for those repelled by Apple's "upgrade incontinence". nt eppur_se_muova Wednesday #1
