    Any way to change the speed of the video, I would like to speed up the delivery, the narrator speaks very slowly, but I could manage with a much faster delivery. It could cut my time spent watching video in half the time, which would be a great benefit.

      Michel, I apologize, I do not have a way to speed up the videos. I will look into some way to do this. Thanks for the suggestion. If you need anything else, let me know! – Tharyn

    At 46 seconds the audio quit. Iʻll skip the lesson, but what might the problem be?

      Try to reload the video or use a different browser for just this video. It sounds fine for me on Chrome. Hope that helps!

    Hey Tharyn!
    Great tutorials for a beginner. What is the difference between the spotlight search and the finder function. I’m sure you’ll explain it later, so no need to go into major detail, just the basic idea.

    Cheers!

      Hey Preet. The spotlight simply has a few extra instant features than the finder search. It’s more of a quick “at your finger tips” search function and application launcher. I don’t use finder’s search because spotlight does the job. Hope that helps! Enjoy the lessons! :)http://macdojo.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php#comments-form
