Our sole gripe with OS X is the way it dumps the prefs without warning now and then, and loses data. This has happened at regular intervals in the past year on a couple of different units: start up and the dock has reverted to default, and many custom finder and application settings are reset. What's most irritating is when Address Book dumps its precious content and has to be restored from backup files, which at times happens independent of the above. What can we do to help stabilize this otherwise reliable OS?
To add something under laptop comparisons: we just switched from ibook to PB. If you do any amount of typing, the extra $ is justified by the keyboard quality alone. Although we like them both, the ibook has a flimsy quick-release board with caps prone to pop loose. The 12" Little Al has a noticeably more refined, firmly seated unit with the best 'feel' of any 'book we have owned. - Brendan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
