    I just purchased an 11” 2021 iPad Pro. So far so great! I really like the small form factor. A couple of things I wished it did differently: 1. Give me full access to Excel. Let me have CSV files and the ability to unlock locked worksheets. 2. Salesforce sucks on iPad. The app is trash and...

    macOS Do you have to be on the latest MacOS for Xcode?

    I'm using my late 2013 MacBook Pro 13" to develop apps and games with Xcode. Now, from what I understand, I won't be able to run monterey since my MacBook is too old. Would it be best to buy a new Mac or is there any other way to get around this? I guess it's possible to wait and use the older...
