Re: Bying a new computer.

At the risk of being completely useless, more is always better where specs are concerned. Apple give you a great experience with Mac, but alas, they charge overly for upgrades, and you only get to make those purchases one time, when you buy your machine. This is, of course, no coincidence.

Re: Night Owl interrupts messages

Hi, In El Capitan, the VoiceOver command to jump to the top has changed. It no longer uses the shift key. So VO+home now takes you to the top and VO+end takes you to the bottom. If you add the shift, you are taken to the first and last visible item. Robert Carter > On Oct 8, 2015, at 8:36

I'd also add that, as with most places in OS X, option-up or option-down will move to the top or bottom of the table. You may need to stop interacting first, but after that those commands will work. They are less keystrokes than the VO commands, but they only work in tables; the VO commands

Dropping the quad-core mini, making the newest models slower than the old ones, was a misstep by Apple. I can only assume this was to prevent cannibalization of their other lines by a fast, cheaper, lower-margin box. Rather poor showing and goes against Apple's tradition of cannibalizing it's

I'm glad you like your Echo. I know that Amazon music was reasonably sort of accessible with iOS when I played with it but there was no way I found to get the tunes to OS X since the app for OS X was completely inaccessible when I tried it a bit ago. So I'm not sure how you'd get your library
