MacMost Newsletter Issue #645 for May 13, 2021

Big Patreon Milestone!

MacMost passed a big milestone this week with now more than 1,000 people supporting MacMost through Patreon. This support keeps the MacMost site, and this newsletter, ad-free!

More than 800 of the 1,000 are part of Club MacMost, my name for supporters who contribute $5 per month or more. They get bonus content every week and also a 50% discount at my MacMost Courses site. As the members of Club MacMost know, they are not just MacMost supporters. They have also become my advisors as well, guiding me with suggestions and feedback.

I am so grateful for everyone's support! -- Gary
