He gave it on the general area of email splitting it into with 10 separate areas. On this occasion, in response to requests by the audience, he dealt with the first 4 of these ranging from setting up email accounts, through etiquette, to spam.

We started at level 3 on his list, Spam. Most email providers provide settings by logging into the webmail account for how they handle spam.

Mick took us through the basics in Numbers using a spreadsheet showing transactions on a hypothetical bank account — he advises against that use for real! In addition to columns for the date, description, credit and debit entries he set up a column for the running balance, showing how to make the formula for the calculation and how this can quickly be copied down the column. Numbers is clearly very user friendly; for example when… Read more…

Tony first covered the history of Blu-ray, the “next generation DVD” supporting HD, 3D and, in an incompatible new form, 4K.
