How do you revert to an earlier version of an app?
I am having problems with DxO Optics Pro 5.3.7. I restored 5.3.5 from a backup but it now has the same problem!

Where e... 2 Feb 2010 15:37

Aquamacs vs Carbon Emacs
Hi all. More switcher (in multiple ways) question: I'm a long-time emacs user (since 18.57 back in '88). For about 13/14 years I've been using xemacs, on Solaris, Linux, and WinXP. I've switched at home to Mac (10.6.2) and was looking at emacs for it. The old xemacs port seems to be dead and xemacs develop... 2 Feb 2010 22:00

Same for Excel (I haven't tried the others... 2 Feb 2010 15:37

So, I restarted her Pro in Target Disk mode and Firewired it to a 2008 MacBook ... 2 Feb 2010 15:37
