I have purchased the El Capitan Manual and am trying to find the
missing CD-ROM for PHOTOS in pdf form as recommended by the author. I wanted to download it as offered, but I cannot find it!
Could you send me one?

The icon described as a triangle with a bar beneath is is not described anywhere previously. I it a key? A key stroke? I can't find a clue.

Photos and cutting people from photos are referenced as chapter 16 on the missing CDs tab. These are actually in chapter 19 in the El Capitan edition. Also, the links don't work (page doesn't exist error). The same thing happened to me in trying to create the installer disk. Great resource, yet disappointing that the links don't work to the supplemental material referenced. Thank you.
