[Ham-Mac] iCloud

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Sorry Kevin, I realise the issue is the cost to upgrade, unfortunately, it will cost even more in the long term. And I'm afraid if you don't move forward with the Os, let alone apps, you find yourself in a position where you can neither move forward 9partly due to cost, because the deals have long gone), and cant run software you'd like to because it won't run on older OS etc.

I would be lost without my mobileMe sync, so I've got to go with the flow, but maybe not quite yet!
