Hey, no apologies necessary! I was honestly beginning to wonder if my emails were going through. I haven't had email trouble lately, but I've had it in the past, going nearly a whole week without realizing that none of my outgoing mail was being delivered! Thanks. BTW, please take Dave's "early summer" remark for what it was, a casual remark in an email. I personally wouldn't be surprised if the OS updates come a little later. There's always an unforeseen bug or problematic circumstance to slow you down!
