Hi Ronni,
Thanks for the info and don’t fret about not replying earlier, it has
been a very busy time for all. Actually, my Wife and I took off for a week at
Jurien just after I posted my last request so couldn’t do much about the
problem anyway.
Thing are now, thanks to your assistance, going fine. It just took the old
computer about two and a half hours to download, install and update the system
and Safari is now back in business.
Thanks again and all the very best for the year and beyond.
Regards
John
