Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

Well, that's not the case, but usually it goes like this:
One goes on a forum and says, "What's a good app/program for _____ing?"

I’m still running High Sierra because I want to continue to use Veracrypt. I know this is still because i could just enrypt files by making a .DMG, but I really like Veracrypt. Big Sur does look pretty cool, and yes, the “Apple Silicon” offerings are tempting. ...

My fault really -- I should have read reviews on how Catalina's 64-bit nature would break many 32-bit games in particular.
