I agree. In 2012, I tried to use some Mac software to let me use NTFS. It not only didn't work, it caused stability problems and I eventually just uninstalled it. Of course, I was relatively new to the Mac, and I might have been doing something wrong, but I don't think so. Better to use a common format than try to hack one computer or the other into using a format it can't natively handle, I think. > On Jan 4, 2015, at 3:06 PM, Mike Arrigo <n0...@charter.net> wrote: > > I would go the fat32 route.
