iPAD External Storage

[Peter Sealy]

I have an iPAD 2 and am considering purchase of an external storage unit such 
as the Seagate GoFlex Satellite or Kingston Wi-Drive. There are quite a few of 
these devices on the market now and I am asking whether any of the gurus here 
use any of them.

Any comments, road tests, pluses/minuses, etc? Comments I have seen on places 
such as Amazon on all of these units seem very mixed.

 Appreciate any views.

Ronda,

I have finally got access to the aberrant MBP and your suggested solution seems 
to have done the trick; fingers crossed. Many thanks!

This again shows that someone, somewhere has probably experienced the same 
problem that your Mac is having, so one should always trawl the Web for advice 
before you assume that your Mac has a unique problem, and just shouting for 
help.

Re: MYOB datafile question

[Darrel McGuiness]

Hi Walter,
Yes; I just send mine as a data file and my accountant can open it and 
modify/amend it.
He might have some MYOB software at his office which lets him do this, but I 
don't know.
Also other accountants can do the same.
Regards
Darrel

MYOB datafile question

[F.W. Hänel]

Hi all,

Can a MYOB datafile (Account Edge version 7) created on 10.4.11 be easily 
converted
to Windows so the accountant can work with it ? (only once at the end of 
fin/year).

Thanks,

Walter
