I am in a small town in west central Oregon called Lebanon. We are on the map, but just barely.... I would love to have any software you are done with. I would even pay you for the postage. I am living on disability since my brain injury, and it is just enough to keep a roof over my head. I only have an Imac os x Tiger because I won a small court case 6 years ago. I am willing to "pay it forward" to help someone else as I can. I wish I could just use the ipad I ordered (on payments). I will probably end up sending it back since I can't afford the upgrades, nor can I do the upgrades myself. Thank you for your offer of help. With your assistance, maybe I can keep the Imac online for another couple years. -Kelly > On 05/04/2012, at 2:26 PM, madamekelly wrote: > > Ok, I read all of the lovely advice you all sent.
