Jim, et al,
I bought my MacBook Air in "mid 2011", August to be exact. So, it could go either way. How do I determine for sure? Thanks.

The designation "Mid 2011 MacBook Air" specifies one 11" model and one 13" model, also designated "MacBookAir4,1" and "MacBookAir4,2".

On your machine, click on "About This Mac" in the Apple menu, then click "More Info...", then "System Report..."

When you click "Hardware" in the left pane of the resulting window, the second item on the right should be a designator like "MacBookAir4,2" or "MacBookAir3,2".

If you Mac is compatible with AirPlay, you can still AirParrot with you
Apple TV and restore AirPlay functionality. It is only $10.

AirParrot also has a free trial.
So I downloaded it, installed it, and ran it.
It immediately told me that my trial period was expired.

They keep you scared to keep you
subdued.

Stop being scared and start standing
up.
