TIL (from the Mac User Group’s monthly magazine) that a 10% discount on meals, etc applies at the monthly meeting venue’s cafe upon presentation of a Seniors Card.
Nice. I’ve been trying to find places that offer benefits to card users, having recent qualified by having existed for over 60 years.
@sumudu Just spotted this article in Apple News. https://www.cnet.com/how-to/iphone-xs-max-iphone-xr-what-you-need-to-know-about-apples-smart-battery-case/
@larand I’ll retain my 1520 as a camera after the final demise. I agree with you about the OS & the keyboard.

I saw a popup error in Mail on my MacBook Pro today, “Unable to verify account name or password.”
A bit of Googling found the answer.
Process to recover your macOS Mail and Inter net Accounts from the ‘Unable to ver i fy account name or pass word’ issue.
1: Open your email account in sys tem preferences.
2: Choose the email account to verify.
Note that your pass word field is blank.
3: Fill in the password.
4: Press Tab to move to the next field (Impor tant!).
5: Press OK again to force verification.
Then select the email account in the Mail app’s sidebar, right-click & select Synchronise account.”
All fixed. Not exactly an intuitive process.
@hazardwarning Reminds m.e of a setting that my Pentax MZ-50 film camera has. Set focus at a particular distance, wait for some critter to arrive & the camera taks the shot automatically. I never used it because it required a thingy called a “Cable Switch F.” That keeps the trigger release button depressed so that the autofocus and metering systems stay active.

Those loaves which you can cut to any thickness you like are the best thing since sliced bread.
@variablepulserate My first Intel Mac was a mid-2007 C2D with 2 GHz processor & 2 GB of RAM. You can give it 4 GB of RAM but it’ll only address 3 GB.
I used mine for doing presentations at Mac User Group meetings, I had a big 17-inch laptop bag with enough room to carry a 15·4-in monitor in one part.
