Thanks for all your help, Peter. But I did get the Fedex shipment today with the mini-USB2 Drive.
I have saved my problem installs and when there is more time I will go back and follow your instruction so I can get a better grip on how all this works so I can better troubleshoot in the future.

I made a transfer from your mini-drive to my 7200rpm peripheral drive and have put the mini-drive away for backup and safe keeping - plus I don't want to use the only two USB ports on the MacBook Pro. But it went smoothly.

Everything is working and it all sounds great. Also, your packaging has gotten perfectly professional - better than what shipped in 2015 - great box!

Also, the the progress you made on your product since 2010 is simply stunning. Everything works better and sounds better. Rendering is so much quicker and accurate. I used to have trouble with the pianos going from chord to chord - they would often flurple and glitch. Everything is much smoother and seamlessly connected now.

And all the new features are amazing. You folks are really thinking through everything. And, as I have previewed the Windows 2016 vids, I am very excited about some of those features coming to the Mac.

Glad you are still working with Brent Mason (glad he recruited Paul Franklin. Could Randy Kohrs be next?).

Anyway, thanks for your personal attention to my questions. I can't wait till June for the next release!

Kevin
