[Leica] M8 Macintosh question

[firkin at ncable.net.au (Alastair Firkin)]

Brian, I am behind on my LUG mail, but I have been downloading via  
the USB cable (its a bit slow) directly to my G4 mac using iView  
multimedia. I have also been able to use Capture one. I'm on 10.4.8.  
I did have to update the capture one software from the one supplied,  
and I am using the lastest version of iView.

I thought that it also showed up as a disc on the desktop, but my M8  
is back in Germany and so I cannot check that at this time.

Cheers and Happy new year
