Learning Experience

We had a patron wanting to know how to copy an image from the web onto a powerpoint. This is easily done with a PC and I thought I would master the situation in a jiffy. To my horror the guy had a MAC. The last time I used a MAC was in junior high. To make a short story shorter, the whole issue revolved around the lack of a right mouse button to pop up the menu where you can copy an image. After a 30 second google search the issue was cleared up....to do the same thing on a MAC you hold down (Control + Mouse Button) and you get the same pop up menu. You then copy and paste per usual onto the power point. So to reiterate, the right mouse button on a PC = (Control Key + Mouse Button) on a MAC. God Bless Google.
