The pressures that prompt us to upgrade the O/S… :-)

FWIW I have been on High Sierra for ages, but a few days ago I was unable to upload a \
PDF document to a certain Australian Government website, with severe financial \
penalties if I failed to provide the document within 3 weeks. Apple's Telephone \
Support and I figured out a workaround (an image of the document in JPG format), but \
their chief recommendation was to upgrade to Mojave, Catalina or Big Sur, to take \
advantage of major upgrades to Safari… Actually I use Firefox, but I think it has \
to go via Safari for some functions… I had to temporarily switch to Safari to prove \
to Apple Support that the problem is not in Firefox.

Cheers,
Ian Wadham.=
