The way this works
Apple system software, the guys who organize the way my computer responds, has this “automatic update” feature. That’s good.
What’s not so good is that the automatic update I installed, which, in reality, I had very little to do with its installation other than typing in a password, and clicking a few buttons with the pointer…. Sure, the system runs faster but two of my “mission critical” pieces of software, \\i.e.\\, astrology programs and web design software are now effectively disabled – although “hobbled” would be a better a expression. Plus the webcam is not working. Again.
It’s not like they don’t work, but the process to get them going is long and painstaking, plus when I switch to those programs, my net access is cut off. For starters, I have to process astrology reports in batches, and that’s more time consuming.
The first comment is surely going to be something along the lines of “what were you thinking, doing an update when Mercury was still stationary?” It’s a maintenance upgrade, which should be okay. The first half of the stability and speed question, that works. So there’s something screwy in the system at this point, and there’s a not a lot I can do other than twiddle, tweak and fiddle with stuff.
