Try This Quick Tip for Making Your Pointer Easier to See

Yesterday was the first webinar for Take Control of Mac Basics, and I had fun sharing my actual Mac screen with viewers as I demonstrated some of my favorite Mac features. One viewer commented, however, that he had trouble seeing the mouse pointer. “Drat!” I thought, “I’m sure there’s a way to enlarge the pointer, and I wish I’d thought of that before starting the webinar.” Sure enough, its easy to make this change: go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Display, and drag the Cursor Size slider as desired. Saturday’s show will feature the pointer at nearly the largest size! (To access the webinars, make sure you have version 1.1 of the ebook and look in the chapter “The Mac Basics Webinar.”)
