Bookends for apple instal1/12/2024 This is why I said that I “honor and respect” that approach. Mac users being in the minority at companies like mine, I carried a USB memory stick filled with goodies until about a year ago. I assure you that I absolutely meant no personal offense. Sincere apologies that you took my comment personally. You have your opinion of the App Store and thumb drives, etc. Please keep your tone and comments civil. ![]() (PS: Clothes are an “artificial requirement” too but I’m sure you remember to put your pants on before you leave the house every day.
