New Members should drop by for a review of our Club's assets and resources. This is an opportunity for members to meet each other and learn about the Hilton Head Island Computer Club. A great starting point for those of us who don't know what we don't know about computers. If you haven't attended one of these sessions yet, come and learn more about the Computer Club.

16 shortcuts for a better iTunes experience
By Matt Elliott - CNET - July 21, 2016
Make your life easier with these keyboard shortcuts for iTunes 12.4.
iTunes 12.4 introduced a number of design tweaks that may have meant the removal of a few buttons you relied on to navigate Apple's music-movies-and-more app. With a few keyboard shortcuts in your arsenal, however, you can become an easy and efficient iTunes navigator.
You may already use some of these shortcuts and you probably won't remember all of them, but hopefully you'll find a handful of the below 15 keyboard shortcuts useful.
I use a Mac, so I have listed shortcut combinations for a Mac keyboard, but an equivalent Windows shortcut exists for most if you substitute the Command key for the Ctrl key. I note where a Windows shortcut does not exist or is drastically different from the Mac shortcut.

Which Laptop Features Are Worth the Money?
By Avram Pitch - LAPTOP Online - February 6, 2016
What You Can Get for $450
Some vendors charge more for less, but today you can easily find a laptop with a solid performance, thanks to an Intel Core i3 CPU, a 500GB hard drive and 4 to 6GB of RAM. Though they are not common in this price band, you can also find systems with 1080p or touch displays, Core i5 CPUs or solid state drives. You can even get 2-in-1s — notebooks that convert into tablets.
Overspecced Laptops: A Waste of Money
Most PC vendors seem to think that, if they just pop a faster CPU or discrete graphics card into the same cheap chassis, they can jack up the price and consumers will gladly pay it. However, a plastic laptop with a stiff keyboard that starts at $400 still looks and feels cheap after you add a Core i7 CPU and increase the price to $800.
