Interesting. I understood about 2/3rds. What I still don't see is how it fits into my life.
It is for cataloging, so you can find images/media on your hard drives, DVDs, etc. It is a lot smaller and faster to work with than a lot of other programs. It can also be shared with other users.
I have not upgraded and not that MS is involved I don't know if I will. I actually have to pay full price to upgrade, that certainly is not going to keep my business.
I have read it and it does not solve my problem. 95+% of the time it is fine, somedays it just unselects my airport and does not pick any. I see about 15 networks at home, so I don't know if that is part of the issue. I do have mine selected as the preferred network.
Interesting site, but what a glass half-empty approach!
Actually, the point of my post here is that I would personally spend more time on macfixit.com, which will discuss the same issues, but focus more on solutions. As in glass half-full!

Just didn't know if you knew about that one.
I only stumbled across the other one by accident. I don't dwell much on this stuff either way, I'm not a computer fan (or circuit board, for that matter.) Patch says i'm bad luck, and he may be right.

Yeah, I know you don't...I almost didn't post, but I find macfixit.com to be a really good resource...
macbook pro
the macbook pro arrived today. So far so good, I have "the missing manual" beside me. First impression was "wow" when the magnetic power cord snapped into place.
email and internet working great, I'm sorting out the calender and downloading loads of widgets atm.
Don't know why I didn't post this sooner, but here's a really fun fact that had me absolutely baffled for a while. If you're using an 802.11b wi-fi connection with the 26 hex digit protection key, you must use a dollar sign as the first character in the password string on the mac.
If you don't, you'll be sitting there wondering why the @#$% your PC lappy right next to you can connect perfectly fine but your brand @#$%ing new MBP hottness can't even manage that simple task.
Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance.

Or you can pull down the little dropdown to tell it you want to use a hex key. I didn't learn the dollar sign trick until yesterday, but I've been using ascii and/or hex keys for years to get different vendors' systems to interoperate.
What you're really doing in all of these cases is avoiding the password hash which, at least so far as I can tell, is done differently by every vendor. I sometimes wonder if that's deliberate to try to lock you into a single vendors' product line.

.. it was written in Objective Pascal (or something similar that comes with Mach 3.0-based OS) and the coder was lame enough to use anything but standard issue StrToHex and did not even bother to strip all non-hex chars from the user's input..
It just works...
Or not. I just put some crucial ram in and when I went back to turn my MBP on it wouldn't. I was careful, I followed the directions (besides it's not that hard to add ram), I did everything like I was supposed to. Now when I hit the power button I get the CD drive sound and what sounds like some air blowing and a blinking sleep light (not fading in and out, but blinking on and off) and that's it.
Super.... Any suggestions?

Yeah, seat the RAM properly. It's a hard push.
If you've done that, take the RAM out, it's bad.
It's gonna be one or the other. Either you didn't get it in right, or it's bad to begin with.
I took it out, it started. so I shut it down and re-inserted it and now it works. must have just not seated it right.
PHEW!
That's REALLY common with first time Mac RAM seaters. The pressure required throws them off. Although I don't see why a RAM slot would be different on a Mac, it seems to be...

Doubt it. It's a cross-platform app. Started out on the Mac, but it's cross-platform.

Thanks, will do.
No, but I can hear the 17K on this site. It also has several other frequencies. After that they must blend in with the ringing in my ears. :cry
