Turns out that with my upgrade to 12.6.7 my space bar stopped working. AND, the battery icon is missing from the menu bar, PLUS the battery isn't charging.
While pondering these disruptions, I considered if I might have to get a whole new computer to use turbotax. Just checked, I'm still good with system 12.6.7.
We have an apple genius bar (what, no drinks, I thought this was a bar!) 20 minutes away.
Ms D, I caught your plagued by mediocrity line. Funny. Can't find the originator of the phrase. Any ideas?
