  • Is there a sensor on the new macbook pros or are they still going with the two-fingers-on-the-trackpad click? Won't matter too much since I use an external mouse with my laptop, just curious, since mine won't ship until Mar. 27th! Thanks.
  • You could have bought an HP or a Dell running Vista last month. Perhaps then you'd know the true definition of "screwed". You can thank Apple for the Macbook they had available last month.
  • Oh my gosh. Did I stuble upon a forum for "The Nanny" TV show? What's with all these whiny little 6 year olds stomping their feet and yelling at their parents, "I told you I want an Escallade!" I've been waiting for today for months. Min…
  • On starting up, press F8 repeatedly to hit it at the right time, you want it after the computer finishes the hardware checking but before it starts to load windows. If you get a stuck-key error then you pressed too early during the hardware check, …
  • I just discovered that I can right-click on the icon on my desktop < compress, and Leopard creates a single .zip file which I can then upload. A .zip file is not as 'Mac' looking as a .dmg file, but I guess I'll use that until I hear of another …
  • I wrote Apple support and was sent this direction for turning on subtitles: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.h.../en/20868.html I tried the directions but did not have the symbol that it said to click in. I wrote back and reveived the foll…

  • The newest versions of NetGear routers such as the DraftN wireless can Not be used as an access point, i.e. the firewall can not be turned off in the same way as the Airport Extreme can be set to Bridging mode. We tried using the NetGear routers as…

  • Thanks, it looks like NAT does take care of my needs in a home environment, I don't need to open ports by ranges. I would guess you might need to do that to play some online games, and I need to open ranges at work for some of our remote servers to…

  • It looks like this thread started in 2002, when I was still a PC person. The main Mac weakness back then was slowness, which was enough for most PC people to be PC people. Well, I own two iMacs now, one just for backup, and they are both faster th…

  • If the Kindle does not succeed, the real reason would be because people don't want to carry around yet one more device. The trend is going in the other direction. People used to carry a cell phone and a palm pilot and a laptop and a walkman and ..…
