It’s been two years since ATMac’s first post. That’s 731 days. So what has happened with ATMac during all of those days – here are some interesting statistics about what we’ve accomplished.
The most important thing that’s happened is a lot of people have got a lot of great information from ATMac. It’s hard for our web statistics software to tell exactly how many visitors, but it’s over 150,000! This year there have been 500-1000 visitors each day, with an average of about 700.
ATMac now has 318 posts, containing a total of 105,526 words. To give you a comparison, “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
As well as me, posts have been written by my trusty companions Joe Barnick and Paul Nasch. Paul wrote the article, “iPhone/iPod Touch: The Ultimate E-book Reader” which is currently the most popular article on the entire site.
We’ve also had guest posts from Kati Lea, David Niemeijer, Colin Oberin, Kerry Mackenzie, Esther, and Josh de Lioncourt.
There have been 660 comments left by around 195 different people. All together, you wonderful readers have left 37,519 words of text in those comments – that’s more than twice as many words as are contained in that timeless classic, “The Little Prince
Our posts are divided into 53 categories and labeled with 586 different tags to try to make it as easy as possible to find what you’re looking for. There’s also a lot more things listed on the resources page.
We’ve done a lot in two years. I’ve done a lot in two years. You’ve all helped me, by reading and subscribing and commenting and writing. Thank you!
Here’s to lots more years!!

Hi Ricky
I have found a way of using MacDictate to move the cursor around. I have it set to move up, down, left, right, ne, nw, se, sw and in increments of 10, 25, 50, 150 and 250. Not sure what the units are actually but your Submit button looks to be about 50. Combined with the mouse scripts I got from your website, it is pretty cool.
A program called Maestro writes the scripts to make it work. You must own Maestro to use the scripts but it is not that expensive – $36. You make the scripts in Maestro and convert them to AppleScript. If anyone wants to use this method, just modify the “nudge cursor” commands that come with the program. If anyone gets the program but can’t get it to work, I would be able to supply further information.
Take care
Jim
