Something that will really help Mac users ...

Picture
We have been working very hard on a great new offering from iTandCoffee and are proud to announce the launch of our fantastic set of video tutorials: Getting to Know your Mac

These tutorials offer a great alternative to attending an iTandCoffee Class series.  In fact, we are able to cover far more topics than can ever be addressed in our two-hour classes - and you get the chance to play these videos as many times as you need, whenever you need them!

The tutorials are provided as short, topic-by-topic videos (128 of them!), as well as as longer, multi-topic videos for each class.  This makes it easy to come back to specific topics when you need information - without having to find that topic in a longer video.  You'll see the long list of topics below.

And you also get access to our 'live' class videos for each of the classes below.
