I have to admit, I thought I might not get to Option key Tip Number 10… but here it is!
I’ll bet you’ve chosen “About This Mac” from the Apple menu– it shows you a box something like this.
The “System Report…” button launches the System Informatoin application, an important trouble-shooting tool. Not too hard. But, if you hold the Option key, the first item in the Apple menu changes from “About This Mac” to “System Information,” saving you a click. It doesn’t sound like much but they all add up.
Note: the System Information app used to be called “System Profiler.” Same idea.
And that’s 10.
