KeyCue - find and remember menu shortcuts
KeyCue - find and remember menu shortcuts
In a typical Mac OS X application, the most frequently needed menu items
have keyboard shortcuts that let you access these menu items faster. Many
applications have 40 or more menu shortcuts. Menu shortcuts may be
convenient to use, but you first need to memorize them, and you must
remember all of them correctly in order not to make mistakes that may lead
to undesired results.
Just hold down the Command key for a while - KeyCue comes to help and shows
a table of all currently available menu shortcuts.
When you have found the desired shortcut in the KeyCue table, just type it
and continue working as usual. The KeyCue window will disappear
automatically.
But KeyCue is not only useful for finding menu shortcuts. You learn much
more: When you use KeyCue for a while, you will be surprised about the
multitude of menu commands in many applications. Since some of these
commands are buried in submenus, you may not even be aware that they exist.

PocketMac's Palm Import Software
April 22, 2004
La Jolla, CA--April 22, 2004--PocketMac & HP are offering abandoned Palm
users double rebates to upgrade their PDAs to HP iPaq Pocket PCs and to

By visiting PalmUptrade.com, Mac-based Palm users can get a rebate from HP
for upgrading their old Palm to a new HP iPaq Pocket PC. In addition, they
can also receive a coupon towards the purchase of PocketMac.
"We know how Palm users feel. They've been basically dumped by Palm... in
so many words," Terence Goggin, CTO of Information Appliance Associates
said. "Mac users have come to depend on Palm's support of the Mac. This
changes things in a big way and now that there is...

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MP3CONCEPT TROJAN HORSE
9 April 2004 - Intego, the Macintosh security specialist, yesterday
announced that it had updated its virus definitions for Intego VirusBarrier
to protect Mac users against the first Trojan horse that affects Mac OS X.

that it uses is both insidious and dangerous and it is our duty as a vendor
of Macintosh security solutions to protect our users. We don't believe in
waiting until the damage occurs, unlike some of our competitors. The Intego

tool that helps check your web site position on all major search engines.
