AFTER I figured out just WHAT I was trying to upgrade, it took about 3 days and separately 13 hours. Well, I did have old programs... And I thought it was a good idea to allow everything the MacKeeper software suggested in the full scan.
Everything went bad for several days, but I think we are back in business. The last struggle was to get the Firefox bookmarks back. Bizarrely, Firefox-On-Mac now seems to "promise" that everytime you upgrade, they wipe your bookmarks. As if that is a good thing. I don't know how it works on Windows.
But I found guidance about restoring an "old profile" and that seems to be the key to keeping bookmarks.
The new "look" is white text on a black background. It was a real surprise, and it doesn't look all that bad, but I found a way on "display" to restore that! Jut getting things working again is good enough for now.
And, so far as I can tell, I got all my other programs updates to work with Mac OS Catalina 10.15.2, not that I see the benefits yet. I'll play around on the puter to see if everything works.
If anyone else is having similar problems, I may be able to help for a few days before the info fades away in memory.
BUT, I looked up the newer mac mini...
I
went for a full new one.
So I just ordered the new
mac mini. It seems impressive. The current one lasted 5 years. The
new one will probably last longer (seems about 5x the memory) AND it is a
lot faster (and the current one still has the "slows" after all my work).
Cheers!

Too Much To Do
I mentioned previously that I have about 500 Spring bulbs to plant. That is going to take some time, but my drill auger does make it a lot...

You are a brave man: tackli g a computer upgrade after all the hassle sorting out that ID stuff! I think I would have needed to give myself a month to recover from the ID 'project' before I could even contemplate it. Well ... actually: I wouldn't have tackled the upgrade. I would have paid someone to do it for me!
