Down From the Mountains, Into the Desert

It might have been just possible the thought of upgrading what computers I have that can run macOS Mojave didn't intimidate me as much as it could have the last few times around. Whether this came from not poking into those online sites I suspect may concentrate "change can only upset things now" complaints, I don't know. Still, I can think a few ambiguous thoughts about "fussy command-line tools" and whether things might have wound up honed to comprehensible perfection had they stuck with fitting assembly language into the 64 kilobytes of memory directly accessible by 8-bit microprocessors, and just what sort of applications however many people would be running in that case.
( In any case... )
