As someone who has read everyone of these Mavericks post, and has yet to update, the answer to this question for a gmail user seems to be No. I usually upgrade to the new operating systems in the first week or two, but from what I have read, I can't seem to find one thing that makes Mavericks worth the upgrade. Please do correct me if I am wrong, but since I would list email and mammal towards the top of what I use my computer for, it sounds like either Apple or Gmail dropped the ball somewhere big time. I don't plan on using Ibooks and I am disappointed to hear that Apple failed miserably when building the accessibility in to it. As a die hard Apple fan, iMac, Mac Air, iPhone 3S, 4S, and 5S, I feel Apple has really been slipping in testing accessibility for releases. Considering how buggy IOS 7 is, and now Mavericks, I might have to start paying more attention to what the other guys are doing. I have gotten rid of anything running Windows in my house so am disappointed by the results to Apple's latest releases. Hopefully the bug improvement schedule won't be on the same schedule fixing numbers has been, 8 years. On Oct 26, 2013, at 4:51 PM, Matt Dierckens <matt.dierck...@gmail.com> wrote:
