learned
Mac A mac is what
youneedfor
everything,

me to access
all the

One of the
main
problemsI
had usingthe
Mac was
sometimesit
wouldcrash
whilstIwasin
the middle of
doingwork
whichmeantI
sometimes
wouldof losta
bitwork.
To solve thisI
justsimply
turnedthe
Mac on and
off again
whichusually
solvesthis.
I learnedhow
to use the
majority of
the software’s
on the Mac,
especially
Photoshop
whichI never
evenused
before.

takeshigh
quality
photos.

Sometimesit
keptcrashing
whenI was
