Hello.
I have just acquired a 13 inch MacBook Pro due to unforeseen circumstances and
I am visiting iCloud.com where I thought I’d be able to change my global rules
for email. The webpage has changed since I used it three years ago so was
wondering how I can change some of my global rules plea
The first thing I'd do, is change the vo keys, control-option-to the
capsloc key.

Most of the keystrokes have stayed the same with VoiceOver. They did switch
around a couple items in High Sierra so that it is more difficult to adjust the
voice parameters with shortcuts. They essentially added the shift key to the
combo which already used control-option-command with arrow key
do they let you use it without a screen yet?
how many USB C ports does this thing have?

Hi folks.
I've just ordered the new Mac mini.
The 6core I7, 16 gigs of ram, and the 256 gig ssd.
I'd love to use it for making music things with logic, but I'll get to
logic later.
So I'm sure I'll have lots of questions.
I've used a macbook air with vo, just to try it out, and I liked it.
Yeah same here.

I agree. It sounds like you don't need anything very intensive, so an Air
should be fine. I'd suggest, as others have, getting it upgraded some. Go for
more ram and storage, if possible. I'd guess 8GB of ram should be enough, and
