  • You can try MailPriority . It has some limitations and won't always work. Message receipt is something most people have gone away from because of spam.

  • Hardware Profiler does not give it to you. What you need to do is go to About This Mac / More info / Hardware / ATA. That will give you both your hard disk and your super drive. Copy the model number and google it. That will give you all the inf…

  • They can not refuse to service anyone - could be a law suit if they did. When Pearson went with the class action law suit, he made this an all or nothing deal. Maybe he should have thought this out better. I have been taking suits to the cleaners…

  • The Palm Tungsten and the T/X will do what you want. The TX also has WiFi which makes surfing a lot better. The Palm browser - Blazer is just okay. I have a 650 smart phone from Palm( still have 5 months left on it with Verizon). I hope by that …

  • The 2 items that interest me are the touch screen keyboard and Apple's bluetooth headset. After using compact keyboards like the ones on the Treo, going to one that does not have the tactile feedback will require a learning curve. As for the heads…
