BT desperately needs one. We're not all Apple fans, you know. Just my 2cents.

LOL. I was just in the neighborhood and thought I'd drop in. I see the political climate hasn't changed much since I've been gone. (I'm on your side Pete C) . Nice to see everyone. Hope you're all well.

Will do updates next, AV system, then try to tranfers data from bad Sata drive. Will keep yo

Your call. I think ios devices are a completely different beast than Macs. And a whole lot more of ios in use than Macs.

Thanks, Pete. I have heard of that. Might be worth a try. Btw, "new drive" turned out to be another problem. I'm posting the updated story.

No comments again? Is anyone home?
