I'll admit I was a little astounded at what actually worked on the Mac side.
I've a machine with both platforms, as 1) I work in Windows CE, which Xcode
oddly enough fails to develop for, 2) there are still some things that tend to
work better on Windows (Remote Desktop being one such), and 3)
But then, aren't we beginning to see some of this with Trackpad Commander in
VoiceOver, and the touch modifications that are present in Narrator on Windows

Even if you're convinced that the beta testers have found a bug and that Apple

developers know how many people are seeing the bug.
Hi Art,
I wonder if there is just something changed in your system Preferences. In
Lion, Apple introduced something called Natural Scrolling where scrolling
happens the opposite to the way we were accustomed to in previous versions of
the MacOS. I know for sure that this messed up many of us
Thanks for reporting it Brian. As I mentioned earlier, if both the Help Viewer

There is no office headset that can do that.
At least not from Jabra, Plantronics or Sennheiser.
You have 3 solutions I can recommend:
1. Either get 2 simple mono headsets, one plugged to the phone, one to the
computer. Not very elegant.

The reason I wanted SSD was because this ins a storage drive for the files of

Hi,
I know this isn't really an answer but, I don't think the small increase in
speed gained by an external SSd is worth the premium price. For an external
