No problem.  BTW, advice for anyone who does want to update to Tahoe:

Do a Time Machine backup just before the update. It is possible to revert the update, but it is slow and a little nerve wracking: it involves reformatting your main disk to make it bootable in Sequoia, then restoring from the backup.

Thanks for the heads up. I usually delay updating a bit unless I hear of a

To all rgl users on MacOS:

I've had several reports that rgl's X11 windows don't work on MacOS Tahoe.  
From a limited amount of research, this looks like something that will not be 
easily fixed.  It will require changes to Tahoe or XQuartz, and neither of 
those look likely at this time.

You can still use the WebGL display, where your scenes are displayed by running 
rglwidget().  This can be set to happen automatically by setting the options

  options(rgl.useNULL = TRUE, rgl.printRglwidget = TRUE)

The rglwidget() display is not quite as friendly as the X11 display, but it's 
the best you will get for now at least.  If you have a choice, I'd suggest 
avoiding the update to MacOS Tahoe.

Right now I'm trying to see if I can reinstall Sequoia...
