   Very true!    ≈:o)   
      
   My first experience of Mac OS X was Panther, v. 10.3 and I've used every   
   version since then up to modern Sequoia, v. 15.6.1.  Some have been   
   better than others but IMO modern versions are pretty darn good.   
      
   I do keep a few VMs going: currently Xubuntu and Mint for interest's   
   sake and Windows 11 for specific 'Doze-only progs.  I visit those less   
   often these days now that modern Mac apps do a better job of what I   
   used to use 'Doze for (mostly ham radio SDRs).
