Thanks for your reply. I'd actually prefer to go with the Air and could even go with both in future but I want to make the practical choice for work. With regards software for writers I'm meaning Pages. As a novelist I don't need fancying editin…

My reason for hesitation however is the RSI I suffered from before from so much typing. Obviously I had to lug my Macbook, separate keyboard and laptop stand to work with me. Now I realise the 11" is much lighter, but the screen would be at an even …

Ignoring the silly comparisons in the article, I am a writer currently working on a (aluminium unibody) Macbook. For a while now I've been considering getting an iPad with a separate Apple keyboard to work on in libraries and the like. This has the …

Thanks for your reply. I'll try that. Also today I tried to rent The Godfather Part 3 and when I went to the play screen it said the film would be ready to is 4399 minutes!!!! I assumed this was an issue with my broadband (or bandwidth) but I was an…

I had been wondering whether my Time Capsule (1st gen) was to blame. However, tonight I connected the AppleTV via ethernet and that solved much of the problem and I guess to access my iTunes library still had to rely on wireless connectivity between…

Ok after some googling I've found out how to do it. Not obvious through the Airport Utility where the setting would be and little help on the Apple website. Anyway, at present I have a local copy of my iDisk on both systems and they sync whenever I …

Thank you for all this. Following Bergermeister's post I checked Pages yesterday and felt an absolute fool. I'd never really noticed the different options for word processing and page layout, only the options on the right and clicked blank page and …

It's also an issue with older and art house films. From LoveFilm recently I've had Last Tango in Paris, Plein Soleil, Cold Mountain, Damage. None of these are available on iTunes, none of these are even available to rent on LoveFilm's own site (or s…

Am currently experimenting with Xero - looks like it could be just the ticket. Thank you.

What I forgot to add was the question: when/if do you think we'll see a Lovefilm.com option in the UK, much like Netflix in the States? I can see that opening up the AppleTV to iPlayer and 4OD might require further work or opening it up for apps, bu…
