Looks like I’m the only one from here able to get to my aunt’s funeral, whenever it is. Unknown as yet. One brother is in Queensland, the other stuck in Sydney, my younger sister will be in NZ on holiday & Mum’s to immobile to travel.
It’s a four-hour non-stop trip to get there, I’ll make regular stops a few times and allow six hours for the trip.
Attend funeral, wake & family gathering before crashing at a motel & heading home the following day.
@hazardwarning While there’s no system-wide font increase settings, you can set desktop & finder windows’ fonts as desired. Safari has a setting for “do not show fonts smaller than …”
Mail has adjustable fonts.

Post-midnight snack: rum & raisin ice cream. 6.4% rum & raisin. Unfortunately the rum is only 0.4%.
@gtwilson A $20 Thunderbolt 3 multi-port adaptor can give HDMI, USB C, T/Bolt 3, SD & micro SD card plus 2 x USB 3.0 ports. Sits in the side of the MacBook Pro connected to both T/Bolt 3 ports.
That gives me Air’s ports & 13-in retina display.

@sumudu I, on the other hand, regularly 2 or 3 times per month, present aspects of using a Mac to various interest groups at a Mac User Group. For this I need both USB & HDMI connections and often an SD card is added to the mix.

@gtwilson When the time came to replace the drowned & unworkable MacBook Air my options re cost/performance were non-Touch Bar 13-in MacBook Pro; 13-in MacBook Air or i5-equipped MacBook. I've had a Retina 4k iMac since August last year, so the Air was rejected due to lack of Retina display.
The MacBook was rejected because of its single USB-C (non-Thunderbolt 3) port.

@jextxadore Looks a bit of a mixed bag to me. Those are G3 PowerBooks, either Lombard or Pismo with the bronze keyboard. The iBook system discs aren’t a lot of use for them.
Thanks for the offer but I already have two Pismos in my collection.

I was notified yesterday afternoon that my aunt was in hospital and not expected to live long. She died three hours later.
