Agree with Simon. The Zoom interface is less cluttered on an iPhone than on a Mac. It’s just holding the phone so that the camera is properly pointing that gets a bit tiresome. Nicer if you can have the phone propped in a way to leave your hands free. Dave Carlson dgcarlson0...@gmail.com

Andrew, Pretty sure it does. But it was so long ago. Again the David Woodbridge podcast helps a lot to understand what needs to be done. What’s really nice is that these virtual buttons are context-sensitive and speak their purpose as you glide/swipe across them. No more guessing. Dave Carlson

Rita, It means that you probably used the Command-W too many times and closed the mail window. Just open mail again from your dock, or if your setup allows, try Option-M as a hotkey. Dave Carlson Oregonian, Engineer, Musician, Farfar, Woodworker, and Pioneer On Jun 29, 2020, at 7:04 AM
