Dear all,
This is my first post to the list, with a new MacBook in hand and an
unfamiliar operating system to learn. I'm approaching this from a UNIX
background - mostly Linux, but I also had an account on a SUNOS (later
Solaris) machine for a number of years. I'm also familiar with both Android
I do not have a Mac Laptop but I believe there used to be an option to turn
on an embedded numpad in the laptop keyboard. I can try and look this up on
Google for you but from memory I think the numpad used to be embedded round
the I key and you used to have to press the function key to access
I did google it and apparently the embedded numpad has been withdrawn from
recent MacBooks but the following may be of interest that I copied from a

I just got an external hard disk for my Mac Book Air. I would like to put all
my mp3’s on it instead of DropBox. Eventually, I’d like to store some pictures
from our iDevices on it too. Can I make folders for these tasks? If so, how?

I don’t believe you should need to worry about those files on there. That is
the route directory for the drive. You can make folders there. If you think you
might want to use those files at a later date you can always make a folder

Jason,
The fn vo (control option) left arrow or down arrow takes you to the top or
bottom of the window or in this example the top/bottom of the buffer.
control option command shift left, right, up and down arrows are meant to move
