MacVoices #24260: Keyboards, Comics, and Taking Control of Your Apple Account with Glenn Fleishman (1)

Oct 25, 2024 | Take Control

In the first part of a wide-ranging conversation with author Glenn Fleishman, we touch on his participation in the Shift Happens book project, his latest project, How Comics Were Made, and his Take Control of Your Apple Account. Along the way we looked back at the surprising origins of a peripheral we all use, the challenges of the early printing industry, and got some thoughts on what you can and can’t do in your account interactions with Apple.
