Hi folks,
I did the upgrade and all went well. No longer able to use my 32 bit
version of Microsoft word. But, for my purposes Pages seems to be working out
very nicely and I have Text Edit as well for some things.
I am not sure I want to add more to my learning curve right now with
Windows.
Thanks for the tips and encouragement.
One note. In a earlier thread about back up solutions I mentioned liking
Carbon Copy Cloner. In the process of upgrading I needed again to give Carbon
Copy Cloner some permissions. This was not easy to do. They wanted me to drag
a file into a table. It was a fish icon.
I remember years ago writing to the developer and explaining it was not easy
for a blind person using voice over to do. It has not been changed.
He did send me a way to do it but it was not easy and ended up just having my
sighted partner drag it over.
So, though I have not used Super Duper I’d take the advice given by Robert
Carter and go that route for a application that does Cloning.
I’ll stick to what I have as it is working and paid for but I won’t upgrade it
in the future.
So far, I’m enjoying Catalina.
