We sent a newsletter a few months back with keyboard shortcuts for Windows. While a lot of those will work on Apple, others don’t. We found some Apple specific keyboard shortcuts to cut down on mouse time. (The ‘Command Key’ can usually be used in place of the ‘Open Apple.’)
A quick note: not all work with all versions of the Mac OS.
Don’t forget that sometimes a fast used computer is a better and more cost-effective choice than buying a new machine. Ask us about our guaranteed used computers! As always, if we can ever be of assistance, please feel free to give us a call at 603-524-1400, email us at support@samedaycomputers.com, or link up with one of our technicians on live chat at www.samedaycomputers.com!
