Re: Apple Mac Studio ?

I'm back after 2 months of running our flows on a standard Mac Studio with no bobs and no whistles.

Re: Apple Mac Studio ?

Hello, We have a simple bash script I wrote to use with the execute command inside of Switch for doing some simple imposing work before sending the job off to a hot folder for our Fiery's. The Bash Script I'm betting I can get it working with more effort, but I'm hoping someone may have a solution o...
