Be Brave, Try Something New!!

We all use our computer uses it in different ways. Some only a few applications. Don't limit yourself. The fear of trying something new or the fear of screwing something up or risking
losing files, etc. seems to limit many from venturing past those few standard operation.

Jack and I are always looking for new Mac experiences. It is just jun learning new stuff. And if you are faithful about backing up your files, you'll never lose a thing. There are thousands of websites dedicated to sharing tips, tools, and shareware for your Mac. Here
are just a few of Small Dog Electronics favorites:

Take a little time and explore your Mac and what it can do for you. Just like our classrooms, "same ole', same ole", doesn't cut it anymore.
