By Yanick Dubois on 6/19/2020

Good content, well explained. lots of good tips and tricks. I have a much better understanding of my mac and how to be more efficient with it.

Gary is an excellent teacher and he explains everything you should know about the Mac OS. Ive been a Mac user since about 1985 but I learn something new from every one of Garys tutorials.

By Joan Merino de Tiedra on 5/6/2020

Nice! Gary is quite savvy at all the mac uses and applications.
His examples could be a bit more elaborated. Doing most of his demos with "Text Editor", an application which is practically not used, does not add a lot. Then, when using examples, Gary could go further that typing "Text" or "The fox which jumped over the lazy dog". I find, sometimes quite basic the presentations and demos, finally.

Very informative. Would have preferred more on the OS than the built in apps, but still very good.

This was a great course for anyone wanting to know more about their Mac. The information was presented at a good pace and was comprehensive in covering content that is usable by the beginner and average Mac for sure. I was somewhat familiar with the basics of using a Mac, but many pieces of information here helped me to unlock many features that I did not know existed on my Mac. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to become more familiar and productive while navigating and using their Mac.

I like it a lot. I only have basic knowledge for macs so this is already helping me out a lot.
