Hello Keith and others,
If I am understanding correctly, recording a macro basically is me executing a
series of keyboard commands that Keyboard Maestro can use to compile a custom
macro?
I am a little hesitant to record because if I am remembering correctly from the

Theoretically you could use KM to do what Hazel does. But it would be like
using a hammer to chop down a tree. The hatchet is a much better tool for the
job. Hazel does a particular type of job well so why not use the better tool.

According to dropbox help, you can retrieve past versions of files (for 30

What it has to do with switching to the mac is, screen readers are complex and

Hi Teresa,
Automator can create folders which it watches and then performs certain actions
if a file is placed in that folder. Hazel is different in that it will perform
the action only if the given conditions are met, and these conditions are quite
powerful. Moreover, it is easier to setup as
