I finally gave in and upgraded my MacBook Pro to macOS 12.3, Monterey. Overall, I'm not angry, just disappointed. (SMH)

Aside from moving the new tab button in Safari—because where's the fun in keeping things where users are accustomed to finding them, eh kids?—I've found that Network Utility app has gone AWOL. Apparently, we can do all that stuff in Terminal.

But we've always been able to do all that stuff in Terminal. The whole point of Network Utility was that it offered all those tools together in one place. And without having to remember the arcane switches to prevent Ping from falling into an Infinite Loop—hahaha.

I've clearly been labouring under a misconception, thinking that computing for the rest of us was supposed to make things simpler for those of us who don't wear a propeller hat. Its almost as if Apple cannot be trusted not to screw things up anymore—aside from the bugs for the early-adopters, that is. They've always been good at those.

My other Macs are going to stay on Catalina, where it's safer.
