Re: Unsubscribing for a while

I echo others' appreciation for Ronni's expertise and generosity. She knows so much! However, I'd like to add another perspective from the context of e-learning environments. Research into discussion forums in Learning Management Systems indicates that teachers who immediately respond to st

Peter, one could be forgiven for being cynical & thinking that this is pretty much par (on many courses) for the manner in which some enlightened politicians spend the tax payers dollars! There is a decline of standards right across the board from the local council (Stirling especially) to t

Re: start up times, what do others experience

Hi James, I think that may have happened to me. I had made some major changes on a laptop that had only about 2.5 gig of free space (freeing up lots of space was part of it). The next start up took ages. I've also noticed slowness after doing system updates. cheers, Susan. On 22/01/2009, at

Re: start up times, what do others experience

Hi Susan, 30 seconds is the benchmark I've compared against for several years (e.g., since OS X 10.3). But as you mentioned, it's common for laptops to have a larger pause after pressing the power button. They also have slower hard disks, so will take longer to load. There are a few other factors

Hey Steven Do a bit of Googling, there is a few programs that allow you to modify the iChat setup which should be able to give you the functionality and views you are after. Cheers - Original Message - From: "Steven Knowles" To: "WAMUG Mailing List" Sent: Thursday, 22 January, 2009 7:

iChat - why not all accounts in one window ?

I use both Adium and iChat, usually having both open at the same time. With Adium, it's just a single window, all accounts consolidated. With iChat however, it seems that each account (eg. mac.com; GoogleTalk, AOL IM, etc) has a window of it's own, ie. a different window displaying depending
