Friends, I am asking on behalf of a friend whose Mac SSD expired yesterday. He wants to know what tools are available that can create a bootable USB for free? I can arrange another Mac and make one if I found a suitable tool. Please help.

His Specs are:

macOS High Sierra 10.13.1
MacBook Pro 2014
256 GB SSD

Give this a try. It is probably the most reliable and easiest to use tool.

Vansmith was taking on more roles and getting busier and felt like he would contribute less, and we haven't really seen him since January of this year.

If his email address is current, then yes he knows. Nick has sent out email messages to all our Staff that are still active and some that are retired. Bryan (vansmith) is involved with many things which is why he hasn't been around for some time. Perhaps he'll join us at the new site.
