Thanks Ronni. I have parallels which I no longer use as I have no need of Windows any longer. I will see what ZOOM have to say but with little regret I can happily abandon faxes in the future. I have an HD with mavericks installed for the specific purpose of accessing the many iMovieHD 6 files that I have. If need be I can setup the occasional fax from there. A pleasant 28C here today with a gentle easterly, which of course is a seabreeze in Albany. Hope you are not getting seriously roasted. Severin
