Connected with a Logic client in the West of England who had bought a batch of Spitfire and Toontrack plugins online and wanted help installing them in custom locations on his Mac. Also showed the client how to create Track Presets in Logic Pro so his 3rd party presets show up in Logic’s Library and make them easier to find.
