Passwords, Programs and Progress

Well it's time to UPDATE my desktop computer again. It's a mac mini 2007 so that shows you how long I've had it. The problem is operating systems are always being improved, so you have to keep up with the latest ones. Wonder if that relates to human brains also? Seems that my Wells Fargo bank will no longer let me update my checking account with my old Quicken program.

So, I updated to Quicken 2015, but it won't work with my old Mac operating System 10.6 Snow Leopard. Seems I haven't kept up with my updates 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mtn. Lion, 10.9 Maverick or the latest 11 Yosemite.

Well, my computer is too old for Maverick OS or Yosemite, Lion isn't available, so it's Mtn. Lion for me. Only cost $20 from the apple store, but then I can't remember my username and password for the store. So––two hours later, I make it through the MAZE of resetting my password via email––tried to avoid that by answering security questions. But when they asked for my birthdate and I gave it to them, the computer said that wasn't accurate...lol! At least I know when I was born, although I'm getting older than the hills. TECHNOLOGY!!
