re: #7 thedopefishlives

I mentioned before, I can empathize with the “you never know what you’ve got ‘till it’s gone” part. When I got my gaming computer back up and running after 4 years of non-use, the patching was endless and it took several hours to install all the software it needed to be able to just run the VPN client to connect to my work laptop, where all my actual work is done. God forbid if I had to install all of THAT over again.

I spent a good part of today trying to install the Homebrew package manager on the Macbook laptop, so I could install some of the development tools I was using on the Mac Pro, but it really doesn’t want to work with this older OS and I still haven’t gotten it running.

I installed Homebrew on the old desktop machine years ago and have gradually upgraded it so that it still runs. But starting from scratch with it on an outdated OS is a bitch.
