Hi Chris, Thanks so much! I was afraid you were going to say that! LOL! I haven't found launching Dropbox on my iMac to be very easy for me. I'm running Mountain Lion and I have the latest version of Dropbox. I know that I must go to the Extras menu and launch from there, but must use the mouse or enable the mouse buttons in order to do so. I was even given some very good instructions for how to do this, but I'm not the most technologically inclined person, and it seems a little overwhelming to me right now! I know in a couple of weeks I will wonder why all of this seemed so hard! That's usually the way it goes anyway!
