How did we survive in the days before every last one of us had access to word processors and computers on our respective desks?That’s not a great sentence — it’s kind of wordy and repetitious. The following sentence is much more concise:It’s hard to imagine how any of us got along without word processors.The purpose of this mini-editing exercise is to illustrate the splendor of word processing. Had you produced these sentences on a typewriter instead of a computer, changing even a few words would hardly seem worth it. You would have to use correction fluid to erase your previous comments and type over them. If things got really messy, or if you wanted to take your writing in a different direction, you would end up yanking the sheet of paper from the typewriter in disgust and begin pecking away anew on a blank page.Word processing lets you substitute words at will, move entire blocks of text around with panache, and apply different fonts and typefaces to the characters. You won’t even take a productivity hit swapping typewriter ribbons in the middle of a project. Before running out to buy Microsoft Word (or another industrial-strength and expensive) word processing program for your Mac, remember that Apple includes a respectable word processor with OS X.
You may need the MAC Address of your network card to connect to a network secured using MAC Address Filtering. Each network card in your computer has its own MAC address. A typical modern portable computer will normally have an Ethernet card, a WiFi card and a Bluetooth card. Each one will have its own MAC address. That’s why you might see three different MAC addresses in the output of ‘getmac’.It is even worse with ‘ipconfig /all’ since it will also display various “virtual” adapters, which might have their own MAC addresses. This is why it is better to use ‘getmac’ instead.
