    In Apple Mail on my Mac running OS X 10.13.2 (High Sierra), I'm not getting the split view in full screen mode.

Somehow, the damn drive is wiped clean, except for the Seagate software that I had deleted in the beginning, and that's all. No sign of...

    NetInstall/NetBoot Failure in High Sierra Server [ NFS Errors ]

    I'm an independent Mac tech and I use NetBoot all the time to repair people's Macs. I switched to it way back when Apple started removing Firewire ports. I knew I needed a different way to get in to broken Macs, and NetBoot had lots of advantages (work on multiple Macs at once, different...
