    Here it says that for Mac, OS X 10.5 or newer is required, but in the confirmation letter it says OS X 10.6 is minimum. What is it then? I paid for the course because I have 10.5.8, if it isn't enough, should I quit?

    Dear Paolo,
    It's not the version of Wordfast which is the problem. I have already downloaded a trial version earlier. But I've just been told by Helen Shepelenko of technical support that because of the GoToWebinar platform, I won't be able to access your webinar.
