Re: Anyone install OS X 10.11.4?

Oh, wow. Is 10.11.4 actually out as the official build? I'm on the beta on one of my systems, though that's really all I can say. But for this reason, I confess, I'm not exactly totally up to speed on what's beta, vs. what's official. --- Christopher Gilland JAWS Certified, 2016. Training
