Hi Jack, welcome back to the forum. Did you break down and go back to a windows based computer or is this forum finally working on apple equipment?

To those who don't know the Bosswrench he is one of the (IMHO) most knowledgeable people when it comes to our beloved cars. Jack was a frequent contributor to this forum before they changed the platform to this current platform which was not compatable with Jack's equipment.

Still a Mac. The original problem was the new software didn't support my browser any more, and no software mfgr made an upgraded browser for the original Macintosh- only the Linux-based new one. And since none of my peripherals would work on Mac's new software base, I was looking at not only a new computer but a scanner, a storage server and - the list goes on $$$. Further complicating things, once I bought a Mac with dual-boot capabilities so all my goodies still worked while allowing a new browser acceptable to Groupee, Groupee wouldn't let me log on! Their software said there was already someone using that name....me. Changing it didn't work either. Suffice to say it took George over a month before he and Groupee straightened out the software mess- sort of. You'll notice that my posts are listed as in the 780s while the actual amount is somewhere in the 3000s.... So bear with me while I get caught up here- its been nearly 3 yrs!
