Odd; mine is a mid-2010, and I just installed it without an "enabler" (whatever that is). I do have the occasional problem though, since Sierra is recommended for this model; I needed HS to run some applications that I wanted i.e. all the old ones that I installed under Sierra and have disappeared from the store. > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_version_history#Releases Yes, I think that's the one. > Anyway, while the names of all the macOS versions are so very cute, they > inevitably waste my time because I always have to double check the name > against the actual OS version number, which is the detail that matters. > Up to Lion, I had them memorized.

That is indeed annoying; they must be catering to a certain demographic, like Penguin/OS. At least FreeBSD sticks to version numbers which I have no trouble remembering and are easily compared. -- Dave
