Setting up my new office computer

 Data:

Running Big Sur

That storage use is due to app, system and other.

They installed a lot of apps for me.  I asked for:

  • Microsoft OneNote
  • Zoom
  • Dropbox
  • Eclipse (latest version)
  • gnuplot 
  • Imagemagick
  • Mathematica
  • Turning Point (clicker software)
  • Active Presenter (unless there is something else the college is recommending for video editting?)
  • TexShop
  • Latexit
  • Firefox 
  • Chrome
  • Zotero
  • Pasco Capstone 

and Angus told me they were able to get everything on except for 

  • Zoom
  • Dropbox
  • Eclipse

So here is a record of what I am doing to set things up.

Looks like I don't have a right click, so going to try to set up my settings and clean things up:

  1. Set up right click on trackpad.
  2. Clean up dock.
  3. Finder -- View -- use stacks - this cleans up the desktop.  Amazing!
  4. Finder -- View -- show path bar
  5. Finder -- View -- show status bar
  6. Finder -- View -- show tab bar
  7. System Preferences -- General -- Show scroll bar always
  8. Install Dropbox
    1. Turn on Accessibility for dropbox System Preferences-- General-- Security and Privacy -- Privacy -- Accessibility -- dropbox (check)
  9. Set up mission control
