dkmarsh, that's an interesting article you linked too and I've bookmarked it to read.

It's interesting how technology passes you buy. I used to update my OS immediately but because I needed some old apps that used Rosetta I stuck with Snow Leopard until now. Boy how things have changed. I may need to buy a copy of Mavericks for Dummies.

Thanks for the assistance. . . I'm sure I'll be back with more questions.
