She cant test the changes as her ancient Mac can not run the current client version so it will be a week or two before she looks at it again....

ahh...those were the day...it was great using COBOL and sitting inside the computer to eat lunch...yes inside
punch cards were awesome...drop them on th floor and spend the rest of the day sorting them out again so you could batch run your program
i think i still have an old punch card machine somewhere

BUT I wish they would be up front with us about things... tell us that
" the client for MacOS is not ready and don't bother downloading it until it is we will let you know"
would be a good start
In addition an explanation of what the problem is would be entertaining... I bet a lot of former programers play this game and many will have picked the Macintosh due to its UNIX core to the OS and some of us might be able to provide useful tips if we were let in on the actual problems.
