))) Apple announced long ago that OS 10.14 should be released in late 2018 and that support for 32 bit will be dropped.

I think that’s only for apps in the App Store, not external apps like Band-in-a-Box.
There are lots of legacy 32 bit Mac apps out there. Your signature mentions your OS 9 legacy apps, so I assume that’s welcome news for you.

I expect Apple will update the OS at some point to prevent 32 bit apps of all kinds from running. There will first likely be a period of “app shaming” where the OS displays a cryptic message about how this app needs to be updated and may slow down your machine. (Note the irony in that message, when the OS X Intel-security-fix update itself might slow down your machine ).


Have Fun!
