Hello, This topic brings me to a question I have never had the courage to ask because I don't want to be considered stupid. What is the purpose in activities and how do you use them? I've never messed with it in the three years I've had my computer and don't understand what they're there for. If I remember correctly they are not addressed in the initial voiceover tutorial one can use when learning how to get around the Mac.
