I will never get rid of it though. Maybe I cold find a table to put it on or figure out a way to keep it on my desk for easier access.

So then I google the word or my approximation of it and bingo, google tells me how to spell it. No more hauling around a heavy dictionary, although I confess, I still like reading them, especially the classic Webster that I once had a special stand upon which it rested.Richard Katzevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466537940588392927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215036862051955994.post-28434294351384456182014-11-17T06:30:44.402-10:002014-11-17T06:30:44.402-10:00Oh how I love that little dictionary on my Mac Doc...Oh how I love that little dictionary on my Mac Dock! It is a pretty good dictionary. I had gone without it for a few years until I got a new computer recently. When I was in library school doing digital library tech I was uninstalling some not Mac friendly software that had gone very wrong and lost the dictionary and Garage Band and a few other things. The Mac start up discs do not have the Dictionary on them. I was very sad.

When you are finished with the book, go to your highlight page on Amazon and copy all the passages in the book that you have highlighted. Then copy them and paste in a Word document. Edit them if you wish, removing the numbers, and the copy those in the Word document and paste them in your commonplace book. If you have questions, send me an email. <br />Richard Katzevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466537940588392927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215036862051955994.post-89805149904922954642014-11-16T06:11:33.015-10:002014-11-16T06:11:33.015-10:00Oh yes, I thank the gods of technology every day f...Oh yes, I thank the gods of technology every day for bringing references and wisdom to us with a click of a simple device.
