I sort of understand. But I am just a disgruntled Mac user that has a
product that doesn’t work. I have to boot my Windows virtual machine just
to send signed email. Even though I am probably in the minority (with the
ECA-type of certs), I sort of feel worse for those with the Oberthur CACs
that are currently stuck in the mud. I only use my certs for email, I
don’t it to log into my computer.
I do appreciate everyone's prompt responses though.
Thanks,
