thanks for this very interesting discussion, I'll save it and use it to explore & learn the finder on my mac. I'm still a newbie, and learning. Ironically I seem to use my mac a lot for filling out web forms! Such as those that doctors offices seem to have on their websites now. Even though my iPad has a bluetooth keyboard that I use quite a bit! LOL.
I really need to start working with my podcasts again to get really comfortable with my MBA.
