Greetings!

In this edition you will find some Keyboard Power Tips. Here are ways to use the keyboard to improve navagation, and make you a power user. You may have noticed a new Name for MMM, from now on we will be MidWeek Mac Minutes. You probably also noticed that there was no MMM last week.

It has been more difficult to get the newsletter out on Mondays due to family and having to work on weekends. So we will publish in the middle of the week, thus the new name.
