    It’s a novelty, a nice collectors item, I’ve just put my iMac into the attic, retiring my MacBook Pro 2017, and taking delivery of a 16” Macbook Pro. The old iMac has 24GB ram, an i7 processor, an SSD, and yes it’s fine for net browsing etc, but painfully slow in Photoshop, is OCLP really secure? Thoroughly enjoyed your video, interesting, filled with detail, thanks.

    Great machines and thank you for your comment and support my friend. 🙏 I've done over 100 macs with OCLP and I've never had any security issues or scares. Sure the older they are the less chance Maps, AppStore and AirDrop will work and work properly and you're right about Photoshop but overall, OCLP is evolving these days. You can set it so that you are getting all the current apple security updates and they are downloaded and applied automatically. Right now OCLP 1.4.3 on Sonoma 14.4.1 is a masterpiece and turned out flawless on a 2017 iMac and 2015 MBP I did in the last two days. Both getting security updates with no issues. Chrome or Firefox with AdBlock Plus and Avira Browser Safety plugins will serve anyone well in 2024 Mac or PC. 🙏🙏

    I've always been a fan of Logitech products. This one is a combo set that will support up to 3 devices and what I like is that the keyboard AND mouse that it comes with are both high quality. Sometimes on their combo sets one will be good while the other will be lacking. Let me know what you think and hopefully this helps. 🙏 amzn.to/3J1KUWE
