Hi Mary, Good thoughts, I could see the touch bar working with vm fusion but only because that is the app in the OS window, what runs in the actuall VM will be a different situation. Simon f From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Mary Otten

From what I had read back in August, tablet sales were down overall, but nothing like laptop sales. Windows laptops had taken something like a 16 or 18 percent hit in first half 2016. I don’t recall the actual numbers, but it was nothing like the drop in laptop sales. Take Care John D. Pan
