Closing Out Another Sunday
Cleaning up some iPhoto archives tonight after re-watching Star Trek: Discovery.
Yes, I know that Apple's moved on to Photos now. I have a machine with that software loaded up. I seem to recall some issues with maintaining control over the photos I've taken and dumped from my cameras into my MacBook Pro over the years, so I'm leaving the archive in said MBP for now. If I'm remembering incorrectly, please explain what mistake I've made.
Also, I still want to upgrade the RAM and hard drive on the slightly newer MacBook-that-isn't-Pro before I move said picture archives to that machine. I've been advised by several friends in my User Group to want to switch that machine from HD to SSD, but I'm (still) skeptical about the value of the trade-offs there.
I can't afford to buy the newest gear every couple of years, and Apple management's not making it easier for me with their growing desire to minimize the ability of owners to customize our gear once we buy it.

And increasing memory to 16 gig and going to an SSD is a HUGE performance diff! I was frankly amazed when I did it to my 2011 MBP, it was literally a new machine. I can't wait to get a 2012 MBP - the last year before everything started getting glued in - and upgrading it. I'm cautiously optimistic that I might be able to use the same RAM from my dead 2011s as I don't think there was a quantum leap in memory technology between the model years.
