TechTips Forum post: For people with Macintosh computers, our IT Mac-certified tech, Rich Bass, highly recommends that Mac users do not upgrade to Yosemite (OS 10.10) yet. There are reported issues of Wifi connectivity dropping for many users. The issue doesn’t affect everyone, but there are widespread reports across the web of Wifi issues. Apple will most likely release an update to fix this, but the update hasn’t come out yet.
If you have updated your Mac to Yosemite and are experiencing Wifi connectivity issues (or other problems) since upgrading, you can stop by IT and we can image your computer back to Mavericks (10.9).

The project began in 1998 at Saint John’s Abbey and St. John’s University, which commissioned renowned calligrapher Donald Jackson to produce a hand-written, hand-illuminated Bible.

In addition, Brad Neary, representative for the project, and Paul Anderson, professor of biblical studies at George Fox, will present short talks on topics related to the Bible and its artwork.
Stop by the atrium and enjoy the St. John’s Bible!
