Re: Opinions On This Used Mac Mini

Hi Simon, I hear you, I priced one out and hit about $12,000 before I even bought a monitor. That’s a lot to spend for a hobby or experiment though. I’ll probably go iMac just because do I really need that many cores. I bet the iMac will run all the plugins and such I want to try out. Would

Hi, David. I’ve also heard the same statistic for a long time that 70 percent of blind people are unemployed. I didn’t realize the study was probably from the 1990’s. I hope that number has dropped since that time as well. 60 percent is a good improvement though. Katie > On Jul 11, 2016, at

Hi Tim, If the mail box is in your "favorites" I use "control command 1-9" on the num pad to move the selected message to my different boxes. control command then hit the number on the num pad to move it. The rub with this method is you half to know which # your desired mail box corresponds to.

I am trying to move a message from one mailbox to another. I can find "Move To" in the menu and have created a keyboard shortcut for it. Once that is found, how do I actually move the message? I guess the better question is how do I get to the desired mailbox and have the message follow me
