The Mac Mini died a while back. It was never right. If it had been a baby squirrel, it would have been pushed out of the nest. Only four years was it with me: if I had wanted a computer with a fruit-fly lifespan, I would have bought a Bill "666" Gates machine. This is the first Apple computer that has failed me, and I have been buying them since they were born. I blame Steve Jobs. Everything was fine, until his pancreas went wrong; he fought the good fight, but then he went to the boneyard. Doctors have a great Hate for the pancreas, because it is so poorly constructed, and yet so necessary. And when it goes sideways, it is really hard to fix. A lot of the parts of the humans, they are built safe and sane. But not the pancreas. Like the dead Mac Mini, if the pancreas were a baby squirrel, it would be pushed out of the nest. And if you were in medical school, and in Anatomy class you designed something like a pancreas, you would get an F. The counselor would invite you into her office, and there she would suggest you transfer to trade school, take up automobiles, and specialize in designing gaskets, since you seem to be so interested in things that are stupid and will Fail.
