It has been interesting thinking through the possible replacement of Condor. Newer iMacs have smaller SSDs than the hard drives in the old iMac (unless the Gorse Fox is willing to pay huge sums of money). So he has been asking himself which apps he really needs and whether any can be dropped. Also, which files can be supported on an external drive, instead of the built-in drive. Slowly, a workable plan is coming together.
Fortunately, the demise of Condor may have been terminal, but the SSD from which the system ran was actually an external drive. It survived and is perfectly accessible. The Gorse Fox also has all of his other backups so is satisfied that nothing will be lost.
