Yes, you're absolutely right. Sorry about that - I hit an extra dot and didn't catch it. On Jan 1, 2015, at 10:02 AM, Chris G jedik...@mysticaccesspodcast.com wrote: Hi, I believe it is 4gb not 7. Chris Mystic Access Where the magic is in learning. 733 Delaware Rd 341 Buffalo, NY

I did open a new window with command-n but I couldn’t seem to move it to where I wanted it to be. is command+` different than command+tab? also the external hard drive I have is rtfs. I haven’t been able to copy anything to it. could that be a format issue? I can copy things out of it to

Hi, If I'm in one drive or folder I use command+n to open a new window. You can then either open another folder on the same drive or another drive. I then use command+` to switch back and forth between the two open folders. You should be able to copy and paste back and forth using the normal
