Program shortcuts and macros
Would you like to be able to open your favorite application with a keystroke or two? There are a variety of ways to access software quickly and David Pogue’ s column in today’s New York Times discusses a number of commercial programs for creating macros. Personally, I think these programs are a little pricey and I can think of some free ways to speed up accessing my programs. They take a step or two more but I am the kind of tightwad that can’t see spending $30 to save a mouse click or one more keyboard entry.
Moreover, if I want to access something a lot, I let it run in the background. With 2 GB of RAM, even my Vista machine can run a lot in the background. RAM is cheap. Adding a GB of RAM won’t cost much more than one of the commercial macro programs.
