LOL is that the Mac you were talking about in one of your recent podcasts. If
so out of interest what Mac OS version and specks do you have.
I have a 13 inch mac book pro late 2011 with 4GB of Ram Intel core I5 I think
but with all that someday in a few years my Mac will be old and groaning but
for now its running as fast as a roller coaster for me. Grin
Yeah and good luck with installing the app and I hope it will be of some use
for you in the future.
