Hi Bill, thanks for that response. It triggered me into looking at the availability of MS Office for a once off purchase. I see Office 2019 is also available for once off purchase. I don't want to go down the Office 365 route. All I could see was the single user licence. Do MS still do the 5 user licence for MS Office once off purchase? I thought that Office 2011 would be incompatible with Catalina (being the 64 bit requirement). Does anyone have any guidance for a Once off purchased MS Office (Multi licence) that is Catalina compatible?

I use a Wacom tablet and stylus. Just moving the stylus around causes the interface to switch to another, random location, or go totally blank. And, I have 2 small Western Digital external disks. On the previous IOS, they showed up on the desktop — now they don’t. What’s worse is, I can’t eject them. I have more gripes about Catalina, but I wont inflict them on you. Anyway, thanks very much for the links to the Queensland User Groups.Cheers,Pat On 29 Apr 2020, at 18:03, Alan Smith wrote: Hi Pat Sorry to read that you dislike Catalina.

AppleUsers dot org website lists five MUGs in Queensland. https://www.appleusers.org/mug-listings/ [3] Most appropriate would seem to be Apple-Q in Brisbane: http://www.apple-q.org.au [4] CheersAlan On 29 Apr 2020, at 2:55 pm, Pat wrote: Hello, WAMUGgers, I moved over to Brisbane,4 months ago. My computer didn’t catch up with me for several of those months. When I finally cranked it up and pushed the Start button, there was Catalina. Well, I thought, I hope it is as good as its predecessor. But, I was in for shock after shock. To put it in straight words: I Hate Catalina. There are so many horrible changes; what has Apple been thinking? I read about the Mac virus problem, but that doesn’t warrant the infliction of Catalina on unsuspecting computers. Anyway, does anyone know if Catallina will be superceded? Soon? And does anyone know if there is anything like WAMUG in Brisbane? I wish good health for all of you in these treacherous times.
