speaking of iText Express, I installed it yesterday and can't seem to get very

NO, that's why there are separate app stores, not all apps are designed to work

You may have to simply disable Bluetooth on your other devices in order for
your bar to pair to the Mac.

There has to be a way. The only exception would be to get it in that mode,
you first have to maybe unpare it from the IPod. In other words, maybe you
only can have it pared to one thing at a time. Otherwise, have someone

Henry, eject is the key right to the right of the F12 key. So you have the
escape key, then F1 through F12, then finally on the top top right most
corner immediately to the right of the F12 key just directly above the
delete/backspace key is the eject key.

Hello Henry,
Here are a few things you should know about. You should repair permissions
every time you install new software, and when your machine is behaving
erratically, you should reset the PRAM. Instructions follow.
