@matigo With 128 GB I can carry all my music, videos & photo wothout needing to stream or download anything. With 64 GB I can have all the music/videos OR all the photos. Not both.
A share dividend has come thru. I can afford a refurbished 128 GB 6th gen iPod Touch. These are around $90 cheaper than new & come with the e same warranty as a new item, plus a new rear cover & battery.
A good friend is a tanker driver, in the food industry, mostly he carts milk products but other stuff as well. He told me yesterday that he'd carted a load of red wine and had siphoned off 10 litres of the stuff. When he got home he couldn't resist trying a sample before decanting it into a new wooden barrel. He reckoned it was rather a good wine.
He asked the shipper next time they met how much the wine cost & was told it sold in China at $70 per bottle. According to his calculations, he was driving between 2.5 & 3 million dollars worth of booze that trip.
@matigo Found the answer: I logged into my troubleshooter user account & the gestures were present and correct. This suggested a problem with the normal user account. So I deleted the Trackpad Preferences .plist files in the user library, logged out then back in again.
All fixed.
Missing since Sierra update: in System Preferences>Trackpad there used to be helpful animations accompanying the various gestures. Gone now, though. Most annoying.
Hey, Apple, I got a suggestion for you. Incorporate into the Mac App Store app a way of determining the hardware in use and if it can't run UPDATES LIKE SIERRA, DON'T FUCKEN OFFER THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Very tired of Google Chrome updating itself to version 54 because I use cappuccino & various other web app/services in site-specific browsers via Epichrome app. Chrome 54 kills Epichrome apps. In desperation I have moved Chrome from the Applications Folder to the desktop.
Updating apps & services on the 2008 MBP. Only wanted 24 updates, although Safari, Security Update 2016-002, iTunes &Digital Camera Raw were bunched into one update.
