Was the iMac or Mac mini of 2021 so much faster than mine?

I could use Wine under Linux or an Intel Mac, but the Parallels
solution is great for Apple Silicon, why not, you've paid so much for
a MacBook Pro or pimped out other hardware from them, you can
certainly boot a VM of Winblows.

I can have a second NVMe.  I wanted that to be possible.  I might not
really have the slightest use for it, but it's part of having a real
motherboard, I wanted the one I got for a reason.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
