[QUOTE="MrTutt, post: 1552023, member: 163754"] I have a mid-2010 MBP with 8 GB of ram running Mavericks and everything else is up to date. Some years back, when Snow Leopard was the OS, I bought The Complete New Yorker, a collection of nine DVDs that held every issue of The New Yorker from 1925 to the early 90s. It came with an app that loaded on the computer with the indexes and interface to view and read the images of the magazine. You ran a search, selected the DVD that had what you wanted, put it in the computer and read on. Well and good. The app was also available on an external HD if you did not want to swap disks. When I upgraded to Mountain LIon, the app would no longer work as the new OS no longer supported something or other--I forget what. (It was Power PC apps) The New Yorker no longer sold the collection so they had no interested in solving the problem. I suppose it still would work on a PC, but I do not know that for sure. And no, I am not really interested in running Windows whatever on the Mac. I posted a call for solutions on a couple of Mac boards, and got some good suggestions from this one. The best of which was to create a Snow Leopard Boot Disk on a thumb driver and boot into that OX when I wanted to use the program. I am going to try that in soon, but it now occurs to me: Would it be feasible to not only create the Snow Leopard Boot Drive, but also to install all nine of the DVDs on the thumb drive so that the whole operation was self-contained. I ask a local computer repair guy (PCs not Macs) the question and he thought it might work. I am looking for some thought and ideas on this, as well as some step by step directions as to how to do it. My technical skills have limitations, but I follow directions pretty well. So, Mac gurus of the Web arise and save The Complete New Yorker, or at least this one on the banks of the Red River. Thanks. EMS [/QUOTE]
