Finding Incompatible Software

        PMUG Prez Art Gorski sends this helpful info, "It turns out that newer versions of Mac OS X protect you from running old incompatible software.  These apps are moved to a folder named "Incompatible Software" at the top level of your hard drive. If you have such a folder on your Mac, look in there for the apps that you should update to newer versions."   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3258?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

        The writer goes on to pronounce this thoughtful observation, “Dictating to your technological artifact is almost exactly like speaking to humanoid interlocutors, except for a few key differences.” And he explains, and recommends this article with nifty chart of dictation commands from Mac 101: Dictation using ML or an OS X app.
