I'm hoping it is on the external hard drive I use for Time Machine backups of my Air or the one I use for the Mini. Wanted badly to do a wipe/reinstallation of the Air this weekend since it has become increasingly flaky after so many upgrades.

Not doing High Sierra for a few months yet.

Spontaneous reboot.

Hmmmmm.

@kdfrawg Makes me wonder about the file system corruption I posted an image of recently. The hardware check says everything is kosher but…there it is staring me in the face. Directory entries scrambled.

@kdfrawg I looked at one of those. Unfortunately, I needed a large trunk since I travelled quite a bit and had to have a lot of computer gear with me (Or haul a line printer to/from a place)

Haven't found a single, solitary peep about it's disappearance online, either.

Wow. Just checked the App store. Everything from Lion up to El Capitan is still there. No Sierra.

Good thing I found out about this before tomorrow night since I was going to totally wip and restore it. (I may have Sierra on a external drive from where it was downloaded though. I'll have to check)

If I have the installer still, , I'll PM you a dropbox link so you can download it if you like. (It will be a while though as I am a long way from home)

Gives me pause concerning the mid-2011 Air I'm using right now. It was one of those incompatible with Continuity and has been progressively flakier with each update since.

That's very uncharacteristic of Apple. Weird, in fact.

@kdfrawg It could be similar to the issues that prevented some machines from upgrading/working properly when the Continuity/Handoff stuff was introduced. (Bluetooth chipset incompatibilities)

You'd think they'd plaster a big "No Bueno" or warning in the installer for stuff like that.

Yoga mostly. It helps a little but is by no means a cure all. As for drugs, for a period of my life (long ago), if it didn't involve needles, I was fair game. I outgrew that pretty quickly.
