@variablepulserate That would work OK. I administer an iMac for a community group and it boots fine from an ext SSD connected via USB 3, also at 5Gbps.

@variablepulserate Excellent, it connects at 10Gbps, which is the same speed as the original Thunderbolt from 2011.

@whoisashygirl My iMac has a dual boot setup on its 1TB Fusion drive. I used Disk Utility to create a new empty volume (with no size limits) and installed a Catalina to that. It only uses around 15GB if you stick to the supplied apps and avoid filling up the Photos & Music apps.
I also have a made a clone of the old Mojave setup from my MacBook Pro (which only runs Catalina) on a 500GB ext SSD, so I can still access my 32-bit apps.
@sumudu That was a very fine eulogy. We’ve lost a mentor & a friend. RIP, Michael.
I wanted & needed to get sleep last night. But since coming out of hospital six weeks ago, sleep has been patchy at best. I'm seeing my GP about it today.
I slept very well the previous night, though.
While preparing my car for a pre/post Xmas trip with my mother as a passenger, I felt a very sudden twinge in my right hip, pain from which has radiated around to my lower back.
This sharp & continuous pain is why sleep mostly eluded me.
@larand Thanks, Larry, I do follow @indigo & have read that beautiful tribute.

I hate this fucking weather, or at least the weather we had yesterday. It meant I was unable to get any significant amount of sleep because the outside temperature never dropped to a comfortable level until about 5am today. May have had around an hour of sleep, not good enough.

@whoisashygirl Went to the library to escape Wednesday's heat, stayed home today with the aircon on full blast.
