If you're referring to alert sounds in general (and I'm sure Mail supports using those), they can be any format that quicktime supports. So not just aiff, but also wav/mp3/m4a/caf/au will work. Just put them in ~/library/sounds and most apps should pick them up. On 07 Aug 2014, at 04:29,

A simpler method would be to simply copy the column, then insert a new column where you want the data, and then do a paste. Move to the top of the column, then do a shift command down arrow to select the entire column. Then do an option right arrow at the column after which you want the data to

That would work. Still, a better idea is to not connect directly to a modem no matter what method you employ. Much better and safer is to have a router connect to the modem and you connect to the router. You can do that either through a cable or over wifi. At 03:22 PM 8/7/2014, you wrote: Hi

Yes, that's the adaptor you're looking for. Simply plug the adaptor into your MacBook Air, and an Ethernet cable from the other end of the adaptor to your cable modem. Often, the default settings will just work, using DHCP. I don't see any problem with connecting directly to the Internet, as

That's too bad, it'd be nice if forms showed up as, well, forms. Still, I think I have the hang of this now; you write in the same cell as the prompt, not the ones after it, apparently. That seems odd, yet also makes things easier. I only determined this after looking at a copy of the same form
