[Leica] Yearbook sales

Two related points.

First, I agree fully with Frank Fillippone in his critique of the LUG yearbook. While it is always once to see your pictures on a printed page, what is being sold is a collection of unrelated photos by photographers of varying quality. Lately the LUG has descended into a self admiration society of a few photographers, not all of whom use Leicas. I am reluctant to pay $100 for a book that my children will probably discard. A PDF version, with an obligatory contribution to charity would be much preferred. Viewing pictures on a screen is the norm today. If I desire I can blow it up to 27" rather than seeing it in small size on a printed page. Go Frank go. I prefer a PDF copy as well.

Second, I've found that downloading El Capitan is easy on both a MacPro laptop and a MacAir. A number of updates have been made in the last year. Be sure you are using the latest version. I currently have OS 10.11.15 running on both machines. But El Capitan makes a major difference in how you use your computer. Be sure to load it onto a partition on your disk so that you can erase it if you don't like it. Frankly I prefer one of the older systems, Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.8) for example
