Yeah but the point is that we have to. Apple should include a simple one if they expect people to upgrade. Bob S > On Sep 1, 2017, at 12:48 , Rick Harrison via use-livecode > wrote: > > If you get a new MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt-3 (USB-C) ports > there are a couple of nice docks which wi

Re: [off]macbook model

Hi Mike, The StarTech one is $329.99 The Plugable one is $189.00 So buy the cheaper one, and save $140.99 It almost looks like StarTech bought the Plugable one, put it’s own paintwork on it, and is reselling it at a much higher price to make it look like a better quality product. LOL Rick >

Re: [off]macbook model

If you get a new MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt-3 (USB-C) ports there are a couple of nice docks which will split out most of the standard old ports. Both Belkin and Plugable make them https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Thunderbolt-Compatible-Supports-DisplayPort/dp/B06ZYR66QB

Re: [off]macbook model

I've always said, everyone loves standards... their OWN standards. :-) But seriously, if this is FINALLY the last port anyone will ever create or need, well then okay. But I must say, the only people who benefit from this sort of thing are the device manufacturers and peripheral vendors. The end

Hi Mike, If you don’t need the portability, go with the 27 inch iMac with the SSD drive for development, you won’t regret it. Just my 2 cents for the day. Cheers, Rick ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url t

Re: [off]macbook model

who, cook? I know. I was screaming about it when Jobs was still alive, and all he's done is prove me right. Yes on SSD's - we don't order anything without them. They make such a gigantic difference in a machine's lifespan, and seem to improve performance much more than a stronger processor or me

I cannot think of a worse choice to lead Apple, IMHO. Bob S > On Sep 1, 2017, at 08:03 , Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode > wrote: > > Tim Cook needs a lot of people to shout "Universal System Bus" at him! > > Richmond. > > On 9/1/17 5:52 pm, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode wrote: > ___

Re: [off]macbook model

I would recommend that you buy the latest model of the MacBook so that you then have to go and spend lots more money on peripherals . . . Recently I took my MacBook Pro (cast-off of one of my sons) to Britain to visit my Mum and Dad, and the thing "developed" a self-assigned IP address, further

Re: [off]macbook model

I should also mention that the new laptops do not have an ethernet port, and do not use a standard USB port. The series just before the most recent at least still have USB3 ports with the Type A connectors. They prior series also has the standard HDMI ports, and the old style MiniDisplay/Thunder

Re: [off]macbook model

I’m a bit like you, I have an aging Air and will probably replace it soon with a 13 inch Macbook Pro (without the touch bar). Portability is important to me so 15 inch is too big to lug around (I had couple of Macbook Pro 15 inch models prior to the Air, so know what that’s like). Screen real e

Re: [off]macbook model

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013). I have two locations that I work from. Each one has a 24” external monitor that I use as my main monitor. I also have a small 3Tb USB3 drive that I take with me. At each location I have a thunderbolt hub, display, and printer (they’re soo cheap)

Re: [off]macbook model

I have a late 2014 iMac (27" Retina) and really like the large screen. I'm just getting into LC, but the screen is great for having lots of stuff on screen visible at once. I do miss the portability a bit. I make do with Win laptops when away from my iMac. On Thu, Aug 31, 2017 at 9:10 PM, Jerry

[off]macbook model

I'm thinking of replacing my 2011 macbook air with a new macbook, but I'm torn on which one to go for. Primary uses are going to be LC development and browser goodness. Before anyone chimes in about Windoze or LInux, I already have both of those covered. Things I'm wondering about: 1) Screen real
