Very well, thank you. And this is a show that we've been excited about doing for a couple of months now really and that is getting more into automator, more into automation and more and how to make your Mac do things for you kind of by itself.

Yes, this is the second in our series.

We started with the Keyboard Meister show.

Ben welcome to the show.

Thank you.

Automator for Leopard I believe it was Autom-What was a visual quick-start guide right? Yep.

Mm-hmm and Ben is a you know he's a was a visual quick start guide right? Yep.
