Good afternoon everyone my subject line says that all. The other night, 
I noticed that my computers then seem to be running quite loudly. A 
check using a utility of my systems processor temperature revealed that 
the processor was sitting at 150°F. Is this a extreme matter for 
concern. I also noted that this particular utility also showed me that I 
was using 11 GB out of the 16 GB machine random-access memory is this 
also something that would alarm one?

There is a potential fix on the horizon. Hopefully this week the 
replacement will arrive and I can retire this machine. Because one of 
the other issue roughly 5 or six weeks before our national convention. 
Was the battery life suddenly dropped from close to 10 hours, down to 
not quite to before there was a critical need to plug the machine in. 
This is a three-year-old MacBook Pro. I think the only problem here is 
that during the height of the pandemic, this machine got used for 
everything. Maybe it was used quite heavily. And I may just be reaching 
a point where the machine is just plain worn out from overuse 
potentially. Not to mention the software is nothing like it was three 
years ago. I know that may sound crazy, but let's face it computer 
software regardless of the operating system over time meaning when new 
versions come out tend to make more demands on the computer's hardware. 
One must keep coming up with things if your corporate America to keep 
people buying. Any thoughts?

Everyone should be aware that I am using dictation software to create 
this email due to 1/3 disability that is not obvious. I have a written 
expression disorder. Meaning there will be is something off up there 
that prevents me from spelling properly at the hearing difficulty on top 
of it all meaning that I'm deaf blind and you have a recipe for all 
kinds of problems. If I don't use the software. So here's hoping that 
this is understandable?

Sincerely Maurice mines.
