Hi I've been using Apple since the early 80's starting off with the above article mentioned Apple 111 computer (no guru though), but I've never had a sense of apprehension like I do now with SL! Nothing large or specific, I just don't trust it for some reason, unknown even to myself. Odd little quirky things happen all the time to give me the heeby jeeby's. Probably just a "seniors" imagination running riot. Regards Peter
