Hi Ronni Thanks for that info, as I didnt realise that the new Yosemite was now available!! I have been away far too long!
Will this OS run on my trusty MBPro or is it not compatible? (MacBookPro8,2; 2.2ghz i7;16gb ram)? If not would I be able to access your copy of Mavericks? The only drawback for me is my very limited 8gb/month of downloads/uploads with the 3G Wireless plan I have with our beloved Telstra, here in the bush!! Its pretty pathetic really, as I found out on the ship, with the very diverse range of mostly European nationalities all telling me about their very generous and fast phone and internet infrastructures!!
