Never had a Mac before. Thought I'd get one and start learning.  Set this one up, did a Time Machine save on a USB drive, the upgraded to latest Mojave.  I knew it wouldn't be the fastest thing with an old school spinning hard drive, but I'm quite pleased for the cost of a night out with my wife.  I've got a lot to learn, but I am very happy.  I just need to get a proper keyboard and mouse.
