Apart from this happening on Friday, the weekend went well.
@streakmachine I have two. One for my domain and the one for the business.

@matigo I've been playing a game on a i5 / NVidia 960 at 60 fps that some people with i7s and 1080ti that are only getting 30.
OS Reinstalled for the first time since it was new (Lion-era)
Appears to function. Now to get crap off of it and retire the thing for good. Enough is enough.
Now re-installing High Sierra.
This thing has been in-place updated from Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan, Sierra, and High Sierra. Things are bound to be all discombobulated under the hood.
@larand I'm already 99 percent Windows. Unfortunately, this Air has yet to be removed from my workflow. Will be eliminating it this weekend. I can at least SSH into it and suck stuff I need off.
Will need a replacement for PDFPenPro though.. I was writing my own but stopped about halfway through.
Trying to save the OS install on my Macbook Air. About to give up.
After the recent Securty update, finder refuses to launch.
SSH'd into it and removed the plist files as there was no way to launch a terminal to do it locally.
Restart and no dice. All users, BTW, cannot access finder.
SSH'd into it again and tried to launch it manually. No dice.
failed with error -610 for the file /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app**** this. I'm buying a Windows 10 laptop this weekend.
@matigo You essentially had a 16MHz 286. Which already existed. (There was an HP Vectra tower built around that chip that was really impressive.)
@matigo Some of the first batches of 80386 processors had a bug where 32 bit math would cause them to flake. They had to be recalled. The offenders were stamped with '16 bit SW only' and found their way into some 286 clones and peripherals. I had one of those around here at some point. The ones without the bug were stamped with two sigma symbols and resold.
