Re: Can a 2017 21.5" iMac be repurposed as a monitor for an Apple Silicon Mac Mini?

Re: Getting rid of Junk in Mail
Thanks. I don¡¯t know how that could be misinterpreted. UK Apple keyboards are now labelled with ¡®Option¡¯ but I don¡¯t know when it changed from ¡®alt¡¯ (our Macs are 2012 or older). Otto
