Dermatitis is bad today, a well taped-down dressing on the palm of my dominant right hand is protected & further secured by a fingerless glove.
Several years ago I was a beta tester for Pacifist app, which extracts individual installation files from disk images or DVD discs.
I was given a licence number to use with the beta but it never worked. I discovered that my earlier app version's licence details worked just fine, which is still the case today.
According to Macworld, the Apple Magic Mouse 2's built-in Li-ion battery should be good for a month's use. It & the Magic Keyboard 2 are both fast-charging devices, the mouse can get enough charge for 9 hours of use from a 2-minute charge. So the fact that they automatically disconnect from Bluetooth when charging is not really a problem. Just plug one in & take a short break, you probably need it. Come back a few minutes later & unplug, it will re-pair with Bluetooth without intervention.
The 2009 MacBook Pro I've been de-crufting scored about 15% higher on Geekbench 3 than others of that year & model. this is because the 5,400 rpm HD was replaced by a 7,200 rpm one, for that very reason: to speed things up. In those days SSDs were horribly expensive.
Time Machine backup on the 12-inch G4 PowerBook wasn't proceeding. Out come the big guns: hit it with Diskwarrior 5. All fixed, now backing up OK.
No backups done to the old 12-inch G4 PowerBook since March 8, 2017. Because that's when I could last find the specialised FW 400/800 adaptor & FW800/SATA interface cable & hard drive.
Yet, last night, when I needed that same adaptor & cable, I found them immediately. They were, oddly enough, where I'd left them.
SuperDuper! clone has been done, now working on the Time Machine backup.
Not fun. Massive leg cramps for the last few minutes. No position is comfortable. Still in spasm. And, just quietly, agony.
@matigo Yep. It's all good. Mavrix & Snow Leo working on separate partitions. iPhoto put up a bit of a struggle but it works now.
Just heard a startup chime from the other Mac, maybe Mavrix has installed properly.
