[chirp_users] Mac woe's

[Pat Anderson]

Sorry, Dave, Chirp does NOT run great on Macs running Yosemite without some
mighty gyrations.  I have to run Chirp on my old Macbook running Snow
Leopard in order for Chirp to work at all.  I have had some hit and miss
solutions to Yosemite, but nothing that is solid and dependable.
