Hello Mike and thank you. There are so many ways to do things with the Mac, eh?

And feel free to write each day about your experiences, sounds like the mac is working well for you. Yes, voice over has a way to resize a window. Press control option shift accent, or I guess you could also say press control option tilda. You will now have 2 options, to resize how wide and how tall the window is. Press enter on the first option, and then press and hold the right arrow key for a few seconds. Press escape to leave this mode, then repeat the process, and this time choose to resize how tall the window is. Press and hold the down arrow key for a few seconds. That should make the window fill the screen. On Aug 30, 2009, at 4:23 AM, M. Taylor wrote: > > Hello Everyone, > > Well, I took a few baby steps today.
