OK. Cool. :) Looking like a 15 Retina Display will win the 2 year mind battle for a new laptop... (Gel, I can't afford the SSD, have you seen the upgrade prices?!) Imagine how long it'll take me to decide to replace my 1991 Ford Explorer that I've had for 9 years ... LOL On Mon, Aug 20, 2012 at

Back in 2000, when CF was being ported to Java, I predicted that the general server ecosystem would come down to MSFT and Java, with everything else being left with a small slice of the market. At one point I thought PHP would be one of those things that died, since I didn't think FB was a big

Your right on that one. A few years ago when going through El Paso, the left rear wheel came off my truck. USAA had no issues with bring a flat bed for the truck and another for the trailer. Very easy people to work with and they don't ask stupid questions to try and make the claim your fault.

Re: MacBook Pro 17 or 15? Old or New?

Those only support 4 or 8 GB of RAM. They are also significantly heavier and, obviously, lack the retina display. I want a professional machine. I also want to be able to upgrade things or replace them. Apple does not let you choose both, which is sad because they are otherwise really nice machin

All the new Retina-based laptops. http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/06/opinion-apple-retina-displa/ RAM is soldered on. Battery is glued in so you have to mail in the laptop to get a battery replacement. Display is fused to the glass. Judah On Mon, Aug 20, 2012 at 10:18 AM, Ray Champagne wr

What models do that? I have upgraded several MBP's RAM, both work and personal machines. If you're talking about the Airs, maybe they do that, but those are not what I would consider a work-caliber machine anyway. Toys, really. On Mon, Aug 20, 2012 at 9:10 AM, Judah McAuley wrote: > > I keep
