Happy Tuesday,

Matt invited me to write the introductory note to Tech Tails this week as a means of introducing myself to you, our readers. I have recently joined the marketing team at Small Dog as social media and web publications specialist, although I have been working at the Waitsfield headquarters in other capacities since the beginning of the year. I’m looking forward to keeping our blog, newsletter and social communities readers apprised of all things Apple and Small Dog!

It feels like summer has finally arrived here in Vermont. Here at Small Dog, I generally eat lunch at one of the picnic tables on the lawn. My guess is that this trend will continue well into October. Although I’m a fan of seasons in general, I must say that late summer and early fall are my favorite times of year.

As we enter August, it’s time for many readers to start thinking about the upcoming school year. Whether or not you’re a student or educator, Mac OS 10.7 Lion includes several features that will likely change the way you work. Two that I’m particularly excited about are Resume and Versions. Resume launches apps exactly as they appeared when you closed them—even if you restart your computer. Versions saves previous drafts of your work, allowing you to review earlier drafts and restore content you’ve since revised or deleted. I can only imagine how handy these features will come in for students and think that all users will benefit from them as well!

Thanks for reading,
Stephanie
