Mac and Print Formatting: Help a Fellow Author Out?
Last spring I destroyed my latest laptop and opted for a Mac. I figured I had an iPhone and an iPod, so why not? The learning curve wasn’t too steep, although I’ll admit I probably stalled out at about 5% of what I needed to know, and Google is my best buddy for figuring stuff […]
