For the record, my old computer was six years old, the keys became unreadable eons ago, and for the past few weeks I have been typing with an R key that’s prone to flying off at random moments.

Plus in my last job I had to use my husband’s computer to remote login to the Avid because the driver required updating my OS, which I was convinced would have crashed my computer. It was beyond time.

To its credit, the old MacBook has been functioning quite well despite its flaws.
