After years and years of helping people make their Macintosh computers more efficient, I finally came across one that I couldn’t set up for more efficiency.
I met a new Mac user who has a beautiful MacBook Pro. When I hit Command-N to start a new browser window on his Mac and see his default settings, he asked how I did that. So now he knows about keyboard shortcuts and how to learn them.
But…
I was not able to set his Finder settings and customize his menus.
His Mac is in Japanese.
and
my Spanish isn’t good enough to explain where he needs to go and what he needs to do.
OK, truth is, given time, I would be able to recall menus or change the language and set it up for him. But that just wouldn’t be appropriate while he needed to do his work. He is another person working while traveling.
Oh well…
