MacOS Mojave (Mac OS 10.14)

Scheduled for release this fall

Is your Mac compatible with Mojave? 
	•	Nothing made before mid-2012 is compatible with Mojave
	⁃	(except certain rare, expensive ,Mac Pros)

Overall Impressions - Apple’s Direction in Mojave

	•	Less compatibility and integration with 3rd party social apps
	•	Cross-platform OpenGL deprecated - in favor of Apple’s proprietary “Metal” Graphics
