Thanks a lot! After more than 30 years, I've just migrated from Windows to Mac and the adaptation process is driving me crazy. That was very useful.

I have been using a Mac for more than a year but I learned this just now. Very use ful information

[CherylPhair]

DAN! You are the man. This is fantastic. I was semi-retired and switched to MAC because I no longer really needed to multitask. But I ended up getting a short-term gig, and this was driving me nuts. I couldn't figure out how to move around effectively. This is so helpful.

Years using an iMac and never knew how to do this. Thanks!

[Mobi-Kenzo]

Not sure why or how I never heard about this - thank you!

[shirleygamedze]

Thank you. I was always flummoxed when my application seemed to randomly migrate to another screen. Now I realise it wasn't random at all :) That was extremely helpful. I've only been using Mac for about 18 years 🤭

[ErinToll]

Thank you for such a clear explanation of what spaces or Desktops can do. You have a nice, slow, calm voice, and the graphics really helped. I had tried it on my own but could not figure it out. Great video. Thank you so much!🤟

[barjammar]

Friend, you are one skilled teacher. You are most certainly gifted and skilled at explaining things well! I'm impressed and you have gained a new subscriber. Please keep up the great work, it's hard to come by high quality content these days.

[PeacefulBreathing]

[amycallen]

Thank you!!! all the other channels just discuss this feature. Thanks for an actual walk through!!!

[arjunaiz]

I love the way you explained, really helpful. Thanks sir!

[RealEstateD]

That’s especially useful for users that switched to Mac, like me. So, thank you. What still has to be understood how this spaces concept works best with my two external monitors from my laptop. At the moment when I switch to another space it switches also on the other monitors. What a a pain.

[williamflackhistorywalkcha]
