    How Embarrassing-A Lesson In Purchasing A Refurbished Computer From Apple's Site

    I have no problem paying tax-but my understanding, wrongly-was that the full amount that I paid via Apple's site INCLUDED the tax. I did not realize that the amount of tax I paid depended on WHERE I picked up the M3. I thought the full transaction was taken care of via the web site.

    M3 Keyboard Covers-Recommendations?

    Actually, I don't either. 🙃 Heck, I keep food and drink on a totally separate table opposite of the M3, as well as keeping my hands VERY clean. It's mostly going to be for dust. 😎

Given the forced obsolescence model...

    I tried that. When I tried to save documents the way you indicated, I'd get the following. I saved in that fashion anyway. But then, I wasn't able to view this document on the iMac.
