Sunday, 16-MAR-25. Mistakes Made, Mistakes Corrected

[DiveMilw]

I ended up buying a refurb Mac Mini.  That was not the mistake.  The mistake was not realizing that none of my existing keyboards or mice will work with it.  Fortunately, taking Kathy's advice, I went to the MicroCenter in Dallas to get a usb hub.  While I was there I figured out that I needed a new keyboard and mouse.  I also got a surge protector as long as I was there.  I spent a little more money than I wanted but I could have spent a LOT more.  I had no idea keyboards could get so expensive no matter what type of computer you own.   

I set my new mini this evening and am using it right now!  So far my only complaint is that the scroll wheel is "backwards" from what I'm used to.  At some point I will transfer files from my lenovo PC to the mini but I am not in much of a hurry to do that.

You can set up the scrolling so that it works the same way that you're used to.  Go to System Settings and search there for "Natural Scrolling."

Or you can leave it the way it is and get used to it.


P.S. Refurbs are great!

Thank you Kathy!!!!!  
I figured there was a way to reset the scroll wheel but I do not know how long it would have been until I figured it out.  I was thinking of trying to get used to it but it might have been confusing as I switched back and forth.  

Is there a Mac version of "toggling" between screens?  In Windows this is Alt+Tab.

I don't know if this does exactly what you want, but I use it all the time. It will toggle between open applications. Command+Tab.
