Enable Text Messaging in Messages
Text from Anywhere! ;-)
Oh boy! Text messaging. Ding! Super fun for some, an electronic annoyance for others, or the only way to communicate with teenagers -- despite what side you are on, the technology is here to stay. So why not recruit your iPad or Mac to join the party, too?
The Messages app (formerly iMessage) allows you to easily share messages with other iCloud users, but if you want to be able to text from your Mac or iPad you will need to enable the handoff from your iPhone. It is called Text Message Forwarding, and here is how to set it up:

Best Mac for Graduates?
What to Choose
It's graduation time, and what says Congrats! better than a new Mac. But what to choose? There are so many options. Here are our suggestions to narrow it down:
Get a Laptop
Students or new college graduates need mobility. They must take their machines to class, work, or coffee shops to write the next great American novel. Desktops are limiting.
MacBook or MacBook Pro
Our general suggestion is if your graduate needs the ultimate in portability, go with a MacBook. If they need more power, step up to the MacBook Pro. The MacBook Airs are a few years old now, and in lieu of the advancements with the MacBook and the power of the MacBook Pro, it would be better to choose one of the latter.
Storage? Don't go less than 256GB
Both the MacBook and MacBook Pros come with Flash Storage, but don't go less than 256GB. If your graduate is into photography or video editing, then 512GB would be even better.
And don't forget a Backup Drive for Time Machine and to purchase Apple Care with the new MacBook (or Pro).
