    G'day Anson, mate you have done a brilliant job. What I really like is that you speak clearly, at a steady pace and you show things on the screen clearly.
    Most people talk too fast. You are an extremely good educator. Please keep up this very high standard you are achieving.
    I could never find files on my Mac easily. You have made this tutoring logical and easy to understand.
    You have made this Tasmanian very very happy. Thanks Mate.

      That's awesome to hear, glad I could help with something like that. Did you take the job? Have you seen my video about the Infinite Boot Loop I tackled earlier this year?

      @AnsonAlexander I did! I work full time as an Apple Support Specialist. I did not get to see that boot loop video but sounds very helpful. I'll go take a look at it.

    Love your demo and teaching! Can you teach me how to display the "word" I search on spotlight in "yellow highlight"? The old Macbook Air and old mac os version I bought 10 years ago had that feature, which I find very helpful. But it does not have this yellow highlight of words within the documents in the current OS. Do you have a workaround?

    Anson thank you. I’ve been trying to find a few gmails that I know I’ve sent/received but to no avail. I’m guessing your instructions in this video will help. I’m age 80 and live London UK. We seniors need sharpshooting clarity. You deliver that.

      Thanks Bill, that's great to hear! I'm glad it was helpful. The software I use is called ScreenFlow and I discuss it in detail in this video, if you're interested: th-cam.com/video/j4FE_B5SWDI/w-d-xo.html

    I'm using Mac's since a pretty long time now. But with these new macOS's, it seems like i need to learn some of these newer features now. Especially the settings menu. (I've started with OSX Snow Leopard and my latest os is macOS Catalina.) I'm now finally using Sonoma. But man, it's so different for me. The settings are much more confusing to me in a way. Though i'm blaming my chemo brain for that.
    Question: I'm looking for a good mechanical keyboard and i always thought that using a dedicated mechanical keyboard like the ones Logitech makes were the best. But if i'm not mistaking, i can see that you are using a Steelseries? (Which are more Windows oriented keyboards) Or so i though? I really like the Corsair keyboards for example but i don't know if i could (or should) use them on my Mac. I'm also living in Europe, so my keyboards are all AZERTY. Which, for regular typing is great. But for coding (which i sometimes do through Adobe DreamWeaver) i know it's better to get a QWERTY keyboard. Even for Photoshop, especially for the short key's.
    Not sure but what do you think about this?
    Great video, i subscribed!

    This is great, thank you so much.
    But I don't seem to be able to search subfolders. It defaults to a larger folder. It says "Search: This Mac / "(Folder Name)" but only includes the larger folder and is NOT locating the specific files that I know are in there. It does seems to locate these files that I've opened but not the others (mov files). This frustrates me so much because I want to be able to access all of the MOV files from a bunch of subfolders within a subfolder without having to open each individually (There are like 30 of them). Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Sorry to rant and thank you again.
