And it's not just Bard books. It's also Netflix. And, the thing that made me want the new Mac, after the October event, was all the extolling they did about how great it is that you could now run iPhone apps on your Mac. As I pointed out in my feedback to Apple, any time I purchase a new app, it gets downloaded to all my devices. To exclude the Mac from that makes no sense. I suspect Joe is right - some big tech company jumped their case. They can do with that what they want, but it's enough to keep me from upgrading to the new Macs. Not saying I won't ever - I assume eventually they'll get all this sorted out. But I won't do it this year. Cheers, Donna
