Checked both the Application and the Utilities folder, don't see Growl anywhere.
Did a search for Growl - a long list of items shows up but when I narrow it down to 'Applications' - nada
I still found the original .dmg file when I first installed it - it actually has an uninstaller with it - nice!
but when I try to use that I get:
You can’t open the application “Uninstall Growl” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
-------------
As an aside -
When I upgraded from SnowLeopard to ElCapitan, there was only one application that was identified as not being compatible with ElCapitan.
No I find more and more applications that were transferred to ElCapitan that are either PowerPC only or where I can't even find the application like with Growl.
I though migrating from SL to ElCap would have identified all the PowerPC apps.
