    You are conflating legality with innocence. I don't think drug use should be illegal therefore I consider these people innocent. It is the law that deems them legally guilty, but who is to judge them morally guilty? Not me anyway.

    Ha, ha. Yes, I'm a dumb ass sometimes, my only excuse being that having only very recently upgraded to Yosemite at home and at work, there have been so many other issues to deal with (i.e. just making things bloody well work) that this was one detail that I have put off figuring out. Thanks for saving me the time!

    It's the shite software you're using. And user error.

    Problem with the constant updates and the way Apple is now almost forcing the updates on users is that as in my case just when I have fixed the problems that previous updates to Yosemite caused to some of the software I use (i.e. made the applications completely stop working), they are now more or less forcing El Capitan on me. If and when I do upgrade, it will be a few versions in as earlier versions have caused numerous problem for many people in Mavericks and Yosemite). There must be a way to turn off software update (I am willing to take my chances) as there used to be, but Apple have made it hard to find that option. There are constant update nags that appear in a distracting way at the top right of the monitor. Very annoying...

    Do you know the way to San Jose I've been away so long. I may go wrong and lose my way Do you know the way to San Jose I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose L.A. is a great big freeway Put a hundred down and buy a car In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star Weeks turn into years. How quick they pass And all the stars that never were Are parking cars and pumping gas Do you know the way to San Jose They've got a lot of space. There'll be a place where I can stay I was born and raised in San Jose I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose Fame and fortune is a magnet It can pull you far away from home With a dream in your heart you're never alone Dreams turn into dust and blow away And there you are without a friend You pack your car and ride away I've got lots of friends in San Jose Do you know the way to San Jose Can't wait to get back to San Jose
