When taking my early morning dump (aka Morning Motion) I observed there was perhaps ⅓ of a serve of dry cat food remaining in the cat's bowl. Then when I was back in bed, I heard her come inside & chow down. I suspect she's finished that as the wee beastie is currently atretched out on top of me, purring violently.

Figures published last week revealled motorcyclists to have a road fatality rate of 1 in 5, that is, for every 5 fatalities, one is a motorcyclist. Scary stuff.

Nice choice. Good balance of features. And being a 13" it has the SD card slot as well, something my 11" Air lacks.

@thrrgilag Such consideration.

In the end I was unable to retain my old phone mumber in the change-up from ADSL 2+ to FTTN. On Saturday morning I got the phone number disassociated from my address plus the totally unwanted ADSL plan that had somehow auto-renewed instead of being disconnected. I just called the old number and woke up some poor bugger at almost 5am.

Aussie colloquialism. Driving as in holding onto the receptacle in the manner of a steering wheel.

Yelling on the big white telephone. Driving the porcelain bus.

I never said otherwise. My point was the 15-inch 2011 MBP was still relevant because it had the dedicated graphics card and up to 16 GB of RAM.

I would recommend the best level of specs you can afford, as time goes by, a lower-specced machine will lose efficiency more rapidly. Examples are the two laptops I bought in 2011: one is a 15-inch MBP that's been retro-fitted with an SSD instead of the slow Hd and 12 GB of RAM; the other was an 11-inch MBA, with a 128 GB SSD and 4 Gb of RAM.
The kicker in this case is the RAM & the MBP's extra dedicated graphics card, that keeps it still relevant as a computer to this day. Whereas I've disposed of the MBA because it's 4 GB of RAM just wasn't coping well any more.
I replaced that MBA with a used, two-yr-old ex-Apple owned 11-in MBA. It had been used by an executive in Sydney and, as an Apple-supplied/owned device, had the highest specs available at the time: 512 GB SSD, 8 GB RAM, the 1.7 GHz Core i7 processor & Intel HD 5000 graphics card.
I'd recommend a13-in MBA (greater battery life than the 11-in), at least 512 GB SSD & 8 GB RAM.

I haven't seen any such method, and that's also with an iPhone SE.
