Re:
I thought about the issues with updates when I updated my phone this week. It's the last update for this particular phone, but I'm getting a new one in January, so I'm not too fussed. It was fairly painless, updated the two phones and the ipad in about an hour all told, and everything works well.
I actually don't rant very much these days. I'm waiting for something to go wrong.

Re: The Rant thread
Speaking of updates, the latest Chrome is a surprising improvement for my old PC.
Except for the looks - and I'm getting used to - there's not much complain about it. (Well, there are a few things about user privacy...)

Re:
I did the Mac OS update yesterday, and I'm thrilled with it. It's really nice. So not a rant, it's an anti-rant.

Re:
Wanted to ask you about that - have updated on the phones and iPads, but not yet on the Big Mac. Is Mojave the same thing?
I have noticed that since updating my batteries go down very very quickly. Wonder why?
Also iCloud keeps saying I'm running out of space and need to spend x amount per month to buy more. Don't want to. Any ideas?

I've noticed my phone is faster, and perhaps the battery does run down a bit quicker, it helps if you set it to turn off at night.

Do you mean iCloud space, or space on your phone. Don't buy iCloud space, it's a nuisance and horribly expensive. I thought I would do that rather than an external drive to back up, but decided against it. I back up to a hard drive once a month, and I keep vital documents on Dropbox.
If it's space on your phone, just offload some photos and apps you don't use.
Look at the Apple group page on Facebook, I've summarised the new OS there. It's really nice, and faster. My Mac with it's small amount of RAM is definitely faster on this OS. It looks a little different, and it's worth looking at the websites to see what the new features are. They are worth using.

Re:
Thanks Mo - the icloud msg comes through on my iPads. Think I'll just ignore it!
About to load Mojave.
Chat sometime soon?

Re:
Did you manage to download it OK, and get it running? Follow the link I posted on the Apple Group on FB to see what it does.
