@samhenrigold Perfectly written and resonated so much. I never had the “right” computer, I was always years behind and at the ragged edge of the hardware. But I took whatever I could get, and I could never get enough of it. That feeling of magic, of possibility. I hope young people can still feel that way.

The MacBook Neo is such an interesting machine that it coaxed a thousand-word-essay out of me: https://samhenri.gold/blog/20260312-this-is-not-the-computer-for-you/ -

I spent a very long time getting high-res screenshots of Pages on Lion and Catalina with a non-Retina laptop, and also pulling quotes out of videos.@nickheer Thank you for this. I miss this version of Pages SO MUCH. It had everything I needed.
With later versions, I'm constantly switching between sidebar tabs, because there's too many controls and they're all too big. Infrequently used stuff should be in the menubar instead. Remember the menubar? Not everything needs to be on screen!
You have valid points about later versions being improved in some ways, but personally, I would be happy sticking with the Lion version of Pages forever.
