Two days ago I emailed Sales at one of these vendors and they have not replied. If people can't monitor sales enquiries via an email address which they have provided, then I'm not doing business with them.

Having spent hours checking Ventura's specifications in multiple respects, I feel that it isn't for me (right now, at least). I also don't understand how it could be loaded onto a machine with 8GB RAM when it says here Link from Google otherwise.

So I'm going to go for a Monterey, partly because it supports (or contains) iWork.

Having said all that, this Mac is behaving itself now. Changing the sleep timing seems to have done it. Shhhhhh!
