Observe Macbook Pro on the left, and Hi-fi on the right where the TV is (hidden by the speaker). You see, I want to be able to play music and radio from my laptop through my Hi-Fi, just like I used to. But I don’t, and I’m sure you appreciate this, I don’t want a massive cable running across the floor.</p> https://nostuff.org/archive/2009/apple-automator/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:32:18 +0000 https://nostuff.org/archive/2009/apple-automator/ <p>Automator on OS X is one of those things I use about once a year, but it always impresses.</p> <p>Many attempts to use drap and drop to replace programming lead to confusing design.
