1.8.7 is starting up for me now.  

My “system” version was showing as old for a while and there was a “fix” I 
found on-line that wasn’t holding after I quit terminal.  Tried many times to 
get it to work, but it would not until I tried to demonstrate to one of the IT 
tech guys at school how it was not working - then the update looked like it 
held.  I still couldn’t run 1.8.6 though.

Can the next step be getting the Bluetooth on the Mac recognizing the 
Teledongle?  Still need a cable.
