[All] Prompt to upgrade to macOS Catalina

[Stanfill, Alex (ARC-SGG)[Bay Area Environmental Research Institute]]

Thank you Dan! Continuation of the Public Service Announcement:

In addition, there are MacOS security upgrades that need to be applied as soon as you get a chance. If you are concerned about the downtime, we suggest downloading the upgrade and restarting only when taking a break, like going to lunch.

And just in case you are thinking of it, Catalina is still *not okay* to install. So, please pay attention so as not to trigger a Catalina upgrade.

If you have questions or need help, please let me know.
Have a marvelous morning,

Subject: [All] Prompt to upgrade to macOS Catalina

All,

Please refrain from upgrading to the new version of macOS 10.15 (Catalina.) This upgrade will break a number of the antiquated software that NASA is mandating. For example, the current version, and the only one distributed by NASA, of the VPN client, the Cisco AnyConnect will stop working. Also, our current version of Fast Track will stop working.

So, *don’t upgrade to Catalina* .... please.

Thank you.
