HiEster, Okay, I didn't grasp your original e-mail. I did go through System Preferences and chose a trial account. I got all the way through the sign-up process, except I could not enter the characters shown at the end of the process. So I'll await sighted assistance and complete the process. Sounds like I'll be set from there. Thanks.
