Hi Ronni, I am sorry I thought that we had sorted it and that you just wanted me to post the outcome and a request for information on how to upgrade to 10.5 on the WAMUG list to others could see what had been discussed. When I did I saw you had already posted the answer before I had had time to post the question.
So I thought we had just go the timing wrong and left it at that as you had already told me what I needed to know. I am sorry for the confusion, as I have been sitting back having a rest from the Mac now the iPhoto mess has been finished and I was able to get the photos over to England for the funeral which was yesterday. I hope this post does get posted as I haven’t had time to renew my subs yet for the new year. Thanks again. Matt. > 4.
