At least I got to do this before the whole iMac migration headaches started:




On Saturday, Hsuan and the boys were in San Diego for a cross country meet, and I thought that would be an excellent time to see Galaxy's Edge, finally. I really enjoyed Smuggler's Run and rode it four times via the single rider line.

Hsuan and the boys joined me later in the evening.

So while my 2015 iMac hasn't really been feeling old, I've been a bit concerned about its SSD, although Disk Utility shows it as healthy. However, after a bout of apparent overheating a couple of weeks ago — solved by blowing dust out of the interior — I found out that it could be traded in for a few hundred dollars with Apple, and probably more to a third party. The net cost, then, for a new 2019 iMac was too good to pass up, so I bit the bullet and ordered one, built to order with the fastest CPU for that model (iMac Pros can be faster) and a 1 TB SSD.

It arrived yesterday, and I used Migration Assistant to copy from the old iMac to the new iMac. (Most of my files are on external drives.)

Unfortunately, I soon found out that my login keychains didn't migrate properly, and when I went into Keychain Access, I couldn't change passwords for the keychains themselves. Some digging on the web shows that this is a problem with keychains and recent updates to macOS Mojave, so it's not necessarily a migration issue, but migration certainly doesn't help.

It looks like I'm in for a long haul of re-entering passwords whenever I access something (like my hosting service).

I uploaded photos from our Hawaii vacation to my Flickr account.
