Blitto's Conference Blog update

[rb...@iinet.net.au]

 Sorry
I may have renamed the Blog which may change the URL

http://web.me.com/blitto/Rods_BECB_Blog/BECBlog/BECBlog.html

I have 4 pages up now and am still adding.
It's primarily Education focussed rather than Technology but stuff WAMUGers may be interested in includes:

ipad2
printing is becoming obsolete
apple has 40% of music sales with itunes store and claims a second revolution is about to happen - The Publishing Industry will soon be revolutionised by the iBooks store
The ipad took only 9 months to reach 15 million users!
•    Ipad is not technology its about Content.
•    The teacher need NOT be the smartest person in the class
•    ePub – the open eBook standard
•    We should be teaching kids to write aps


cheers
Blitto

Re: New MacBook Pro: Should I order 2.2 or 2.3 GHz i7?

[Robin Belford]

If you're going to use Aperture perhaps you should reconsider not going for the 
fast processor and the extra cache?

Re: New MacBook Pro: Should I order 2.2 or 2.3 GHz i7?

[Stuart Evans]

Yes, it makes you wonder why Apple have bothered continuing with the box
products. They still sell them on the Apple store. I think the long term aim
is clear. From a resellers perspective it's another erosion of revenue, but
we all have to adapt. It's all going to be only online someday. What will
never be online is the personal touch, personal training, personal advice
and personal support. That's where our focus is.
I just wonder why the App Store prices aren't at parity with the US store
(or close to it). Given there are no imports, no boxes, no deliveries etc,
only GST to add - I'd expect the prices to be closer. Unless I'm missing
some software tax that the government applies?

Flame on Johnny!   ;-)


Cheers,
Stuart

Re: New MacBook Pro: Should I order 2.2 or 2.3 GHz i7?

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Reg

As much as I hate to not give sales to stores, if you are looking at
Aperture it's actually cheaper to download it from the MacStore if you're
not worried about not getting a disk and little manual.
It's $249 in the shops, $229 on the education store and $99.99 to download
it from the MacStore.

I'm not even going to get started on why they make it so cheap, as I don't
want to start a flame war.

But just thought I'd point it out.

Kind Regards
Daniel

 Long time since I asked a question. I'm thinking of buying a new MacBook

 What are experiences with glossy v anti-glare displays?
 Any other tips?

Thank you to all who have replied to my query on MacBook Pro 15". I've decided 
to go for the standard 2.2GHz / 750 Gb HDD with standard glossy display and 8Gb 
RAM. I'll put the extra $$ saved by not getting the 2.3GHz upgrade into an 
extended warranty. I'm also tempted to get Aperture 3 and have a nice play with

Re: Another MYOB question

[Alex]

Hi John

is the "5" in MYOB 5 correct?  That is an extremely old version.   
Windows MYOB is running on v19.5 now.  What would you be running on  
the Mac?  The data files are cross-platform compatible but you need to  
have matching versions of the programmes. It is do-able one way or the  
other!

Alex

Hi John
If you mean the MYOB program being transferred from a PC to a Mac - no  
I don't think so.

They are two separate programs - one for PC and one for Mac.

Hope this help

Hi Ronni

Thanks for your reply.  I did have a couple Smart Mailboxes but it  
seemed to me that the emails in those boxes still remained in the  
Inbox, which seemed to defeat the purpose in my eyes.  So I deleted  
them before trying the Rules thing.

Hello Alex,

Have you looked at creating a Smart Mailbox?
1. Choose Mailbox > New Smart Mailbox, or click the Add (+) button  
at the bottom of the sidebar and then choose New Smart Mailbox
2.  Use the pop-up menus and text fields to define the search  
criteria for the mailbox.

If necessary, click the Add (+) button to add more search criteria.

I have a few Smart Mailboxes. One for “Unread Messages”, one for  
“Today’s Mail” & one for “Flagged” messages

Hello Wamug Friends

I have finally gotten around to using Rules to move emails to other

the mail boxes that have received emails. The Unread emails count  
doesn't help me as I often have many unread emails that I keep.


I used to use Eudora & the Window option in the Main Menu Bar  
listed all mail boxes that had received new emails & that was handy  
as I would look in them & close even if I didn't want to look at  
some.  I may be missing something in Mail?


Many thanks in advance,

Re: New MacBook Pro: Should I order 2.2 or 2.3 GHz i7?

[Ronda Brown]

I agree with Ruben. To advise whether the 2.3GHz is worth the extra price would 
depend on what you use the MBP for.
If you are heavy user in Photoshop and Final Cut Pro, I would suggest the 
2.3GHz.

The 2.3GHz CPU has a larger L3 cache (8MB vs 6MB.) The increase in cache is 
usually more important than the minimal increase in speed, depending on what 
you do in Photoshop & FCP. 

Certainly go the biggest Hard Drive you can afford and extra RAM.

Re: The Glossy vs Anti-Glare … this debate has been going on for eternity ;-)
Some Professional Graphic Artists & Photographers say the Anti-Glare gives a 
truer ‘Print’ colour than the Gloss.

The latest MBPs have high resolution displays, older MBPs you could get a lower 
resolution Anti-Glare display.

I’ve had  anti-glare on my PowerBook & previous MacBook Pro, but I decided to 
go with the Glossy Display on my current MBP.
I love the look of the glossy screen, the images have a deeper look with more 
contrast. blacks are really black.

Cheers,
Ronni
