I take my customers’ suggestions seriously and try to incorporate the ideas, when possible.@davehamilton I’ve sent you a private message in Facebook messenger.Thank you all again!
@titlsEd, Your welcome! I am glad that more people have had an opportunity to read your book as it is a good resource that answers many of the basic questions that people have when when using a Mac. This is also proof that MacGeekGab has an engaged audience that is willing to support the community when they find a product or service they find value in.
@brianmonroeWell, I plan on trying to be a bit active here, even if it’s to learn more or give a little advice when applicable. 🙂
@titlsThats good. Just as long as your awesome admin skills are not taken away from the MGG group. We need you over there as well. 😎
