Well I had to update a few programs but it seems inkscape is the only one that does not start. Inkscape fails to start on macos 10.13 (high sierra) so I finally got around to update my mac with the new os version.

Taking the classic out and all you got is a case or shell that looks old but has new stuff inside.Inkscape fails to start on macos 10.13 (high sierra) so I finally got around to update my mac with the new os version. When I go to a classic car show, I want to see cars from the '50s as they were in the showroom floor, as they were made. It's like restoring a classic car and making it have stuff that didn't exist when the car was made. Without the sound that goes with that PC, it's hardly a history lesson from the era. Whenever someone restores a classic 80s PC/XT or something in that era, and puts in some stupid MFM-to-SSD converter to use a flash drive on one, it's just insulting. I'd also love to see the LED CPU speed displays come back, too. They're too silent these days, and without disk access lights, it's oftentimes hard to tell if it's actually doing something or frozen. I'd go as far as using a classic MFM drive (mainly for document storage, savegames, etc) just to have that classic 'sound of work being done' back.

Tell that to my still-working eMachines PC from 2008 or my Toshiba from 2012 that runs Linux just fine on a spinner disk. 'running any OS on a HDD in 2021 is disasterous' I'm thinking of partitioning the drive to be 500MB for Catalina, and 500MB for Mojave. And yet, instead of my initial plans to purchase a Thelio Mira from System76, I bought a 2019 iMac with an Intel i9 processor, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB Fusion drive, on which I can install Mojave (it came with Catalina), and still run Adobe CS 5 (or 6). My tests with Linux and these apps proved that it was entirely doable. As the 2014 iMac is getting a bit long-in-the-tooth, and I absolutely WON'T rent my software, I considered moving everything to Linux, using the Adobe CS equivalents in the free software world: GIMP (for Photoshop), Inkscape (for Illustrator), and Scribus (for InDesign). for business on a 2014 iMac with 8GB of RAM and 500 HDD, and Mojave.

Now a self-employed person that users Adobe CS 5 to do labels, etc. Late to the party here, but Mac user since 1986 (36 years) and commercial printing prepress guy for 25 years.
