Growing your Macintosh know how

Computers are remarkable tools. My love affair with Macs began in the early '90s. I cannot imagine being without this powerful tool today. These tips and tutorials are adapting to be useful and fun. Although it is useful to know "about" features, the real joy is in doing something meaningful with the computer. Therefore, I try to offer examples, to do's and how to's. Many of these activites apply to all platforms.

HELP! My color screen has switched to black and white. My chooser has lost the printer. I just reset it yesterday. My Mac's date has changed to 1956 and I know I had it set correctly. You probably have a battery problem. Even if you don't have this problem, I suggest you check this out to be prepared in the event you do.
