Hi and sorry Ronni, I keep forgetting about my OS; Its still 10.6.8 as I have yet to do an update, and that reminds me as I recall you saying my machine is not one that will go to Yosemite, but will do Mavericks (MacBookPro8,2, i7, 2.2ghz)?
I guess my OS doesnt have H Neue if it is in Yosemite? Thanks very much for the info on their location and sources as well, very interesting Best wishes Chris On 11/22/14, Ronni Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Chris, > > You don’t mention what OS X you are running.
