Hello Zoe. I don’t see anyone on this list saying that you are worthless or that you should get lost.
I do know however, learning the mac is a hands on thing. Now, I don’t use the mac 24 7 because I have to use Windows on a daily basis because of me working. I would say however, learning the Mac is a learning curve. When I started on the Mac in 2010, I only had a week where I could sit next to someone and learn a few commands which enabled me to use the Mac. After that, I was very much on my own. I still get guidance from another member on the list. >From experience of this list, there are lots of kind people who will help you >and everyone here will support you in what ever way you need it. Kindest regards, Kawal. On 21 Nov 2015, at 15:32, Zoe Fiogkos <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thank you so much.
