Thank you.

Here’s some basic maintenance you can do on a MacOS system to avoid problems, and how to erase and reformat a disc if you really have to start over.
I saw my friend press a key sequence and have a really cool emoji window pop up on her MacBook Air with every possible emoji. Nice! How can I access the same on my own Macbook?
