Oh thank you so much that worked really well and the go menu I didn't realize
either so that makes it faster to get to applications.
I really am liking the mac and when the learning curve gets steep, I just take
a break.
I set up some activities with different voices and got some of the new lion
voices.
Another question, I get the new software upgrade free when it comes out. Is it
as easy as downloading an app in the app store to install it?
