[Hidden-tech] Mac OS question

[Cheryl Handsaker]

Hi Jon,

As Erik mentioned, the latest Mac OS (Catalina) is out and this will no 
longer support any 32 bit applications. You may buy yourself some time 
by rolling back the OS but within a year or so you will need to upgrade 
anyway if the Adobe Suite is still your thing moving forward.

Best,
Cheryl
