That¡¯s the Air that I¡¯m aiming for, Susan, although I gather you need to spec the 512Gb RAM to achieve full speed (according to the Internet).
My wife¡¯s old iMac (2011) will probably need replacing, but it will all have to wait until I get paid by a US company for work I¡¯ve done.

Thanks Chris, yes we are now back to full function on our network and, most important, I am back to playing EverQuest! ?:D?Did you see there is a new MacBook Air out? ?I would not have noticed but I play Words With Friends on my iPad and each turn is punctuated by ads and the Apple one was freezing my game! I seem to recall this happening before, on an Apple ad, but it doesn¡¯t take long to do a restart of WWF.BestSusanOn 18 Jul 2022, at 19:03, zuiko via <ftog@...> wrote:
Hi Susan
We¡¯re in good shape, thanks. The temps are high here in Dorset (33-34, according to our two thermometers) but the house is well insulated and we¡¯re on the side of a hill which gets us whatever breeze is blowing.
Had some good news a while ago (stop me if I¡¯ve told you already :-)): ?my 2017 MacBook Retina 12¡± started playing silly buggers with the battery so I enquired of Apple if they would sort it out. ?It had had only 400 charge cycles and had gone below 80% capacity. ?The answer was, ¡°yes¡±, and they sent a box for a courier to collect it. ?It was back within ten days and had had the logic board replaced as well as the battery. ?It¡¯s as good as new!
I¡¯ll still get myself a new Air M2 when my boat comes in, but I¡¯m very pleased.
I hope that your network recovers . . .
Cheers
Chris

I suppose it must be autumn or even winter in Oz, Jude, and here we are in the usually damp and cloudy United Kingdom being warned to stay at home if we can, because of the heat! ?I¡¯ve just been out in the garden, doing the annual Big Butterfly Count, and managed to snap a peacock butterfly sunning itself on the path. I¡¯m a bit clumsy with the tiny buttons on my little digital camera, a Panasonic DC-TZ90 that I¡¯ve had for a good while now. I accidentally set it to video but never realise I¡¯ve done it until too late. Maybe I should RTFM a bit better!
We are only partly back online after an outage; the Mac side of things is working but we can¡¯t access our network drive. The Windows side is still on the fritz. ?Oh, our router is a Fr!tzbox by the way! Funnily enough, when I returned to Facebook, it turned out that a number of our fellow villagers in Clyst St Mary had also experienced outages. Coincidence or not, I don¡¯t know.
I do hope everyone is thriving.
Best
Susan
