[QUOTE="Mojoron, post: 1618618, member: 337262"] [b]Newbie here[/b] Although I'm a newbie to this forum, I have been using Apple since 1979, in one form or another (Franklin, UMAX), except for the original OSX versions where printing was always an issue with new OSX updates, Yosemite has been a bear to use for many reasons. I purchased my third MBA about the time of the 10.10 system upgrade, and wouldn't you know it, when I received my new MBA it didn't have 10.10 on it (this was about three weeks after 10.10 was released).
