Good information, thanks! I plan to upgrade in the next few days, maybe
today, and I'll keep this all in mind.

Hello everyone,
I am enjoying some of the new features within Mountain Lion. So far I
played with the Notifcation Center, Message, and Dictation. I will
cover some of the basics with these and installing Mountain Lion.
First off, I am not an uber mac user, just a standard user with little
to no experience with understanding anything outside fundamentals of
Coive
Over.
Installing Mountain is easy. As stated in a previous email, no
worries. Just make sure you back-up your system. The only thing I did
to prepare for the install was update my billing information. I did
not update any software, run the checker, or anything else as my
system is
a Mac Mini from last year.
The entire install took an hour from hitting the comfirm to buy button
to logging in.
Notification Center Set up:
First thing to do is head to System Preferences, Keyboard, and then to
the shortcuts tab. You will need to create a shortcut for the
Notification Center, which is located in the Mission Control option. I
am using Command Option Shift N for mine.
Once done with the shortcut, head back to system preferences and go to
the Notification Center. You have a table with the various apps that
use the Notification center. Select each one you wish to receive
either an alert, banner, or none alert. These pop up just like they do
on the iPhone and iPad.
Now use your shortcut to enable and play with the Notification Center.
To move away from the center, either Command Tab or find the close button.
Messaging
I am really liking this feature. It using iMessage, so you can only
sent a message to an email or another iMessage user. For this one, you
need to dig it out from your Application folder, so hit Command Shift
A or go through finder to find it. Once you find it, open it and
insert your iCloud information. You will also want to go into the
dock, and find the Message App. Hit VO Shift M and go down to Option
and then keep in Dock. I say this, cause you will want this in your
dock, unless you create a keyboard shortcut for it.
The layout is as simple as Messaging is on the iPhone. Best part is,
iMessages created on the Mac will appear on your iPHone and iPad with
the same iCloud user ID. This allows you to carry on conversations
from your Mac and then pick it up while traveling.
Dictation
Yeah, this works awesome, even with my mumbling Chicago-ish accent. Go
back to System Preferences once last time and navigate to Dictation
and
Speech.
Enable it and select your microphone. You will also need to select an
activation method. The standard drop menu gives you Double Tapping of
either the Function key, Command, RIght Command, or some other
combination. When you are in a text field, double tap the key you
selected
and start talking.
When you are done, double tap it again.
Thank you for your assistance,
Timothy Hornik
