Not only was the weather unkind for our last meeting, but the gods also appeared to be working against us in another direction!

After a battle with a Mac and projector that were not on speaking terms, John Hooper got off to a late start in showing us how keyboard shortcuts, in lieu of using the mouse for everything, can improve the efficiency of common tasks on the Mac and now iPad too. We discovered that most of us use few shortcuts beyond cut and paste.
John distributed a comprehensive reference sheet of shortcuts and highlighted their… Read more…
