Re: missing sea breeze.....

Try a trip to Albany as an alternative. A pleasant 22C here right now and a high of 23.5C on my thermometer earlier today. What easterly there is has a bit of south in it and is just a gentle cool breeze. Don't believe what you see on the TV news, the airport temperatures are consiste

Re: OSX Lion "sneak peaks" including Recovery Partition

I read that when you install Lion into an external drive it installs the small recovery disk on your main computer drive. If the external drive is not connected, it will then start up from the recovery drive rather than your main drive. Sent from my iPad On 26/02/2011, at 2:33 PM, cm wrote

Hi Blitto, Upgrading the Firmware does not change that you are still connecting at b/g speeds. A Airport Extreme N / Airport Time Capsule N or Airport Express N will connect at b/g & n speeds/ Wireless G uses the IEEE802.11g wireless ethernet standard and has a max speed of 54mbps. Wireless N

Re: Slow Downloads?

Hi Rod If you're wanting faster on wireless, then the N routers do make a difference. The Netgear DG-2000 is N compatible and quite well priced. Otherwise, and if you don't have a current backup system at home, the a 1TB Time Capsule can do some similar. You let the Netgear handle all the interne

Re: Slow Downloads?

Hi Blitto, What Daniel has mentioned is what I said in my previous reply to you. It is how I have my Network setup with my Netgear DG834Gv4 connected to a 1TB Time Capsule. The 1TB TC is configured as a 'Simultaneous Dual-Band 802.11n Wi-FI Base Station. My Macs, iPad, iPhone all connect to t

Re: Slow Downloads?

Although I'd like to see this too, I can't see it happen. The reason I can't see it happening is that as internet changes then the modem becomes "Redundant" or "out-dated". Also, if someone is on cable, which is generally different, then the modem is of no use to them. So it limits their scope to

Re: OSX Lion "sneak peaks" including Recovery Partition

Hi Susan, Thanks for the heads up. All appears good, however, with the install. I checked for a recovery partition and there is not one on either the external drive or on the MacBook Pro's internal drive. I think I missed an option somewhere at install time. Cheers, Carlo On 2011-02-26, at 1

Re: Slow Downloads?

Yes Daniel, you and I would like to see this happen, but it won’t happen! Apple AirPort base stations (including the Time Capsule) don't include modem functionality. I imagine it's because Apple doesn't want to sell two versions of each base station, one for DSL and the other for cable. I bel

Hi Ronni, Daniel and Susan, My mistake, there is a recovery partition correctly created on the external drive. The partition does not show up in Disk Utility but is visible by other means. So all is good. Thanks all, for the information! I will crawl back into the "cone of silence" now out of r

Re: Slow Downloads?

Hate to throw my nerdy hat in the ringbut... I come across network throughput discussions a lot in my work with businesses and schools. Networks aren't simple. There are a few factors impacting speed. Always consider the ³end to end² path of the traffic. Apologies if you've read this before.

Re: Optical Drive (was OSX Sneak peek)

Interesting discussion. I could theoretically get away with not having an optical drive in my MBP, and only use a lightweight external drive for installing software and possibly playing movies. Maybe software will be delivered on flash media in future, maybe via the Internet. Perhaps a subscripti

That's the issue - every time I open a blank doc I get this set of words and even though I delete them, the slowness is apparent - it isn't there with Word documents from outside sources. BTW the Power Point in the new Office offering is superb. Bill On 27/02/2011, at 9:54 AM, Ronda Brown

If you mistakenly modify the Normal template, you can easily restore the default behavior by deleting, renaming, or moving it. The Normal template is automatically recreated the next time that you open Word. Delete a Template from My Templates: 1. In the Finder, open /Users/username/Library/A
