I have NEVER had a problem with the Yosemite; that is just something that has cropped up between some peoples ears. But then there are questions that just nagged to be asked (It's the Ed Murrow in me). If the Yosemite was so good, why did a company with good financial backing drop it? I know the answer; I'd just like to hear what others think.I do know the Asians do not just throw designs away.
