Oh, Cindy!
I wish i had known you are on an older Mac; I searched for 4 months to find a
home for my old iMac, and just found one yesterday, literally! And, they are
taking it as a "lesser" alternative, just for space saving, dreading the
platform difference. Ugh!
Good luck with the new machine and hope you follow my favorite pastime of
backup, backup, backup! Wink.
