been using apple products for at least nine years now . the venerable computer that im typing to u is at least that . i have another mac book and an ipad . i just switched this computer over from 32 bit high sierra and skipped over others and went to big sur 64 bit without any difficulties . this machine , a early 2013 ,13 inch screen took big sur without problems.
a number of my 32 bit apps quit working including my web browser of choice , but my friend who did the upgrading went into /libraries/ caches and deleted that . works fine . my adblock for youtube filters havnt caught up yet so , i have to slog through them. i usually hit the skip ad buttons . one other app that quit working was a app called boxer app. it is a frontend to dosbox. i went off half bang 1 day and deleted a lot of stuff , mini vmac dosbox as it quit working . all my games and ms word 5.5. i then looked around and found a 64 bit version and promptly installed it. i rescued my games and word 5.5 from my older apple . they work fine. to my suprise ms word 5.5 now een prints out to my printer , whereas before it didnt . i also run win 3.1 for solitaire . it has note pad and notepad prints . i swear, what is this world coming to? all in all it was a nice transitional swapover and am pleased with the experiance . a slot machine game that i like quit working and i found a nice suite of games in dos haveing poker , etc and slots . i goto the slot machine game . well pleased . nice job apple .
