Dear Mtn.Marty, Blick and WeatherCat Mac troubleshooters,
One of my problems with the protracted procedure is my inability to boot into safe mode, due to having only a bluetooth keyboard and holding down the space key doesn't seem to work. I might try the terminal command for booting into safe mode.
Hmm, I never thought about that sort of problem. Like so many other things about my character, I've been slow to adopt Bluetooth. However, I just graduated to an Apple magic mouse since my venerable USB mouse left click button has started to fail. I never understood the reason for getting a Bluetooth keyboard. In that case the cord seems hardly an impediment. Now I have another reason to stick with
"old school" when it comes to keyboards!
Cheers, Edouard
