David Pogue: The one and only one remaining feature of Windows that I have always admired is on the desktop if you want to E-mail let*s say a word document to somebody you can right click it*s icon and choose from the shortcut menu something that says send to.
David Lawrence: Right.
David Pogue: And you can send it by E-mail right from the desktop without having to fire up the E-mail program first.
David Lawrence: Another sub menu pops up underneath it and one of the options is E-mail.
David Pogue: That*s right.
David Lawrence: Yeah.
David Pogue: And Mac has never had anything like that and it turns out that with Automator, see Automator you automate, you make a little software robot type dragging list of steps into an order that you want. And with only two of them get finder items and send E-mail you can build the one that does exactly that. But the cool thing about Automator is what you do with the software robot once you have built it. One of the things you can do is save it as an application and the other thing you can do is save it as a shortcut menu entry just like we are talking about.
David Lawrence: There you go alright.
David Pogue: Or you just save that as a plug in as I call it and all of a sudden you right click and there it is.
David Lawrence: Now this is just a mini tiny tinny tiny example of what David will be talking about this Thursday. Go to www.davidpougue.com. Is that the right URL you want me to say?
David Pogue: That*s right.
David Lawrence: Okay www.davidpougue.com and that*s spelt just like the Irish rock band. He writes for The New York Times. I read your Circuit stuff every week via E-mail. Thank you so much David. This Thursday Apple Store San Francisco, alright?
David Pogue: Alright.
David Lawrence: Back in a moment.

After a 30 year career on radio in markets from New York to San Francisco to satellite and network, David H. Lawrence XVII decided to make a change.
