Oh yes Gordon, There is every chance that an Apple Tablet will be released in 2010, in fact I'm pretty sure there will be ;-) Just do a search in Google - Apple Tablet to be released? And you will gets heaps of rumours & information. Cheers, Ronni On 10/11/200

Re: Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.2 released

Pfft. That's depressing. Hopefully it's a sign that they're about to release something in the netbook space (Apple Tablet anyone?) but I doubt it. 2009/11/10 Ronda Brown : > > No Gordon it does not support Intel Atom in this release. > > "Intel Atom support is confirmed to be missing in the fi

No Gordon it does not support Intel Atom in this release. "Intel Atom support is confirmed to be missing in the final release of 10.6.2, citing multiple prominent Hackintosh sources. Apple's latest update for Snow Leopard has broken support for Intel's Atom processor line. Mac OS X 10.6.2

Re: Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.2 released

Any word on if this final release has Atom support or not? I don't need it myself, but I know a few people who use Hackintosh netbooks that would be sad to see it go and I had been thinking about going down the netbook route myself. 2009/11/10 Ronda Brown : > Hi WAMUGers, > Apple has released Ma

Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.2 released

Hi WAMUGers, Apple has released Mac OS X 10.6.2, a sizable update to Snow Leopard that touches on many areas of the operating system. The changes are too numerous to chronicle: read Apple's About the Mac OS X 10.6.2 Update page for a list of changes. Also note the page detailing the security

I've been on Telstra Cable for around 10 years. I don't have any tech problems any more. Downloads can be pretty fast but uploads are slow which is bad if you Skype videoconference. The major problem is the cap. 12 Gb doesn't allow much and I see deals advertised everywhere even on the ba

Tim, I have just had an experience not worth dying for with Telstra. I'll not go into details, but I found that Telstra and Bigpond are ( or seem to be) managed separately. After days on the phone it was fixed and the key help point was "Multiple Services" these people could see b

Hello, I've signed up to move to Telstra Cable internet as their deal came out a bit cheaper than iinet, and I was seduced by 'indications' of 70mBs. It's using the same cable that was laid in my street a few years ago by Foxtel. We used foxtel for a short while, so their box is on the wall and
