Coincidence?

This week Apple dripped their latest product announcements with slick, swoopy videos; a yellow iMac looks fun.

The MacBook Sheryl uses to record audio and other unknown tasks was bought in 2015, and this week it decided she could no longer access the desktop. The disk is bad, I guess. The MacBook that we bought in 2020, which I use with Logic Pro, took 10 minutes to boot this morning, and Safari hates just about every website I use, which is a problem because all software is just some bloated web view.

Is this just a coincidence that computers start failing when Apple releases new products, one of which is actually appealing?
