IMPORTANT #GLOBALTALK UPDATES! ⚠️ Please share!
1. A shared pre-made Mac HD image had a virus on it. A new version is linked in the guide/spreadsheet. Run Disinfectant to remove it from your Mac. ☠️
2. Please DO NOT use SimpleText or TeachText to print files to people's printers! It crashes often and send dozens and dozens of pages to the selected printer. 😭
3. Want to join in on the fun? Please don't DM me - instead check out the #MARCHintosh website for details: 🌎
