[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

Time warner doesn't offer DVR for free.  At least where I live.  In NYC it's 
about $7 a month.

Hi,

If the brigtness is set to 0, it indeed goes back to 100% on a restart of the 
computer.  Maybe your brigtness isn't set to 0?  If you have it set to like 5% 
this doesn't happen.

Re: macbook pro battery.

[Les Kriegler]

Hi Sarah and Mike,

I was expecting to have to turn brightness down every time, I should have 
someone check.  All I know is that VO reports the brightness being at 1% or 0% 
every time I check, not sure it tracks the actual percentage properly, but it 
certainly appears to hold the initial setting.  I'll have my wife look later to 
be certain it's actually lowered.

Re: Undo not working consistently

[M. Taylor]

Hi.

The day took longer than I anticipated.

I decided to produce a podcast on this ad I just finished.  The podcast is 
about 5 minutes long.

It's almost 2:00am and I'm falling asleep at the keyboard.

All I have to do is add tags and upload the show which I will do as soon as I 
wake up.  I will post a note to the list when I have done this, OK?

I sincerely apologize for the delay but it will be posted when I wake up.

kids learning games for the mac

[heather kd5cbl]

Hello, I wanted to know if anyone has experience with kids learning games on 
the mac?  I have a friend who wants to purchase a mac but she wants to be 
able to use educational games with her 3 year old daughter but I told her I 
did not know if they were voiceover accessible.  Is there a way to find out 
or is there a list out there?  Heather

I have uverse or rather my mom does.  Yes the cable only has it free for six 
months here than you have to pay!  I think cable is going by the way side, I 
don't know anyone who has cable accept for some apartment dwellers who cant 
get anything besides the cable.  But even my friend who lives in public 
housing, has dish!  I don't understand why cable makes you pay when the 
others give it for free and sometimes give two dvrs with the higher

Re: Oh boy

[Donna Goodin]

Oh, would it ever.  I'm really, seriously tempted.  My husband has this bad 
habit of putting a movie in, then falling asleep.  when he wakes up, he just 
grabs whatever remote and pushes whatever button turns the TV off.  When he 
does this, I always have fits trying to get it back to regular TV. An Imac 
would completely solve that problem, and we've been talking about mounting the 
TV on the wall anyway.  Hmm, you know, I may need to work on this argument.  
After all, now it's *his fault.  and it could save us a fortune in marriage 
counseling bills. *grin*

Re: More about ODSAgent was Re: longshot help with odsagent error

[erik burggraaf]

Hi Jon,  It's been a long time, since I don't really use my vm for much other 
than testing, but I think it showed up last year when I upgraded from fusion 
one to fusion 2.  This month I upgraded to fusion three and installed the new 
vmware tools, but that hasn't fixed the problem.  It's also worth noting that 
my vinux 3 machine works just fine.  No complaints at all.

Installing the bootcamp drivers isn't strictly necessary, but I found that once 
I did install them my vm performed much better.  When I upgraded to snowleopard 
I upgraded the drivers in my virtual machine as well, so there shouldn't be a 
driver issue.

Another interesting aside to this.  I went in to do a network diagnostic and 
got the error, "xpnetdiag.exe could not be found.  Make sure you typed the 
location correctly."  So, I went off and tried to download the patch for 
network diagnostics yesterday and discovered that you can only download the 
patch using a validated windows machine.  Bummer for me since I'm using mac.  

Honestly, I wish I could just ditch windows.  I remember when these problems 
used to fascinate me and how proud I was when I could fiddle some driver into 
working or fix some spurious error or patch a virus without damaging the 
operating system...  Well and truly gone are the days.

Best,

Re: speeding up media

[Robert Carter]

Hi,

Am I correct that you have to use an older version of QuickTime player to get 
the ability to speed up a file? If so, can one have both the current version 
and an older QuickTime player installed?

Thanks,

Mobile access podcast

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi Guys and gals,

Me, Taylor Scott, and Carlos Palomino, who some of you will know from other 
lists, have started a bi weekly podcast.  We will be discussing tech news in 
the headlines, accessibility news, and a broad range of things related to 
technology.  We also bring a lot of humor to the show.  WE are all pretty blunt 
and don't pull punches so, at times a bad word slips out.  lol.  Please give a 
listen at the following.
 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3775823/M-A/MA-chat-11102010.mp3

Feedback is always welcomed.  You can visit mobileacces.org for more 
information, resources, and tutorials.

Thanks.

Re: Behavior of macbook when lid is closed.

[Bryan Jones]

Hi Ricardo - The only way I was ever able to get my macbook or mbp to stay 
awake with the lid closed was to have an external monitor attached. When I did 
that, it worked great and I could access everything, put it to sleep, wake it 
up and restart it using the external USB keyboard, but whenever I tried it 
without an external monitor attached it would awake for a couple of seconds and 
then go right back to sleep. The last macbook I had was a late 2008 aluminum 
model, so maybe things have changed for the better on the newer models, I don't 
know.

HTH,
Bryan

Re: speeding up media

[Esther]

Hi Robert,

Yes, sorry, I forgot about this since my use of this feature from  
QuickTime Player 7 and the AppleScripts dates back from Tiger!  The  
older version of QuickTime player is still distributed with the Snow  
Leopard install media, and Apple provides instructions on installing  
it.  Apple's statement: "Should you need it, a Mac OS X v10.6 Snow  
Leopard-compatible version of QuickTime Player 7 is also available for  
use with older media or with existing AppleScript-based workflows."   
Here's a link to Apple's Support Document on how to install it:


http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3678

I'll excerpt the information:
• Insert your Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Install DVD.
	• Open the "Optional Installs folder" and double-click "Optional  
Installs.mpkg".

• Select the QuickTime 7 option and click Continue.
• QuickTime Player 7 will be installed in your Utilities folder.
If you have QuickTime 7 installed, Snow Leopard handles the division  
of labor for you, using QuickTime X when it can and QuickTime 7 when  
it needs to.


If you don't already have QuickTime 7 installed, then the first time  
you try to do something that requires it -- such as play a video that  
needs a non-standard codec, for example -- Snow Leopard will ask if  
you want to install it.


In fact, if you have a valid Pro license on a Mac you update to Snow  
Leopard, QuickTime 7 should be installed automatically with the Pro  
features enabled. I know that Darcy, and some others, have QuickTime  
Pro 7 ($29.99).


If you need to manually enter your QuickTime 7 Pro registration code:

• Open QuickTime Player 7.
• Click the QuickTime Player 7 menu and choose Registration.
• Enter your QuickTime 7 Pro registration code.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Hi,

Am I correct that you have to use an older version of QuickTime  
player to get the ability to speed up a file? If so, can one have  
both the current version and an older QuickTime player installed?


Thanks,

Robert Carter


On Nov 17, 2010, at 8:34 AM, Esther wrote:


Hi Heather,

You could use QuickTime Player to speed up playback.  Navigate to  
the mp3 file you want in Finder, then bring up the context menu (VO 
+Shift+M) and find the selection "Open With".  Right arrow to the  
submenu and select QuickTime Player.  If you bring up the A/V  
Control Window (Command+K shortcut to toggle this window on, or go  
to the "Window" menu on the QuickTime Player menu bar to find this  
option), navigate to the Playback Speed slider and interact to set  
the speed you want.


If you want to do this after locating your track in the iTunes  
songs table, I think you can use Command+Shift+R to reveal your  
track location in Finder under iTunes 10.  (In iTunes 9 it's Command 
+R to bring up a Finder window with your selected track  
highlighted.)  Then, go to the context window to "Open with  
QuickTime Player" as outlined above, and use the A/V Control Window  
playback slider to speed things up.


I use AppleScripts to switch track playback between iTunes and  
QuickTime Player at preset faster speeds, following a tip that once  
appeared at the Mac OS X Hints site, and which is described in this  
archived list post on speeding up podcasts:

http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg09819.html

However, you can always just open QuickTime from the context menu  
as I described above.


HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

REL Latency in Amadeus

[Allison Manzino]

Hi Joshua,

I don't think you can adjust the latency. I have never been able to do that. I 
usually check the play through box just to hear my levels and then I uncheck it 
when recording. I also  have use the Imike which allows you an extra input and 
output. It's nice, and gives you a lot more flexibility. Have a great day!

Musically,
Allison

Hi Chad,

Hmm let me check again. I was on it before. I wonder if  I  copied the link 
wrong. Let me see.

http://www.mp32tube.com that is the link I have. I omitted the slash this time. 
Have you tried accessing it through Webkit. I had to update my Flash player but 
I know  that's different than Java. Now, I'm confused.

Re: moving to a computer-based entertainment system Using Tivo

[Scott Granados]

The only thing worth geting over cable is the Internet.  The TV quality sucks 
and is over compressed and the phone works OK but it's over priced.  The 
Internet is generally a pretty good buy though.  I've found the best mix right 
now is TV over the dish and Internet over cable.

I use an asterisk system and SIP provider for the phone service.

Re: Mobile access podcast

Are you all going to set up RSS so we can get to get your podcast?
You could set up a e-mail list to let us know when there is a podcast.
Just some thoughts.

Mod note: the "oh boy" thread and other chat group messages.

[Geoff Waaler]

Greetings y'all,

Personally I prefer a moderating style involving minimal intrusion,, hence kept 
hoping the "Oh boy" topic would die on its own because by any reasonable 
analysis, about 90 percent of it consisted of off topic posts which would be 
more aptly written to a chat group.

Alas, as Paul Harvey opined thousands of times during his 60 years of 
broadcasts here in the US, "self government won't work without self 
discipline".  Therefore since we have 593 subscribers at this writing, I feel 
compelled to ask that everyone bare this in mind before posting.

Do nearly 600 people need to take several seconds to learn that a subscriber 
intends to try a recommendation, or upload a podcast and provide a link in the 
future, for example?  More over, I would suggest  that it's implicit that 
answers to posts are appreciated, hence considering the volume of traffic and 
number of subscribers, the best way to show thanks might be to avoid filling 
everyone's in-box with a one line post and perhaps consider sending a private 
note instead?

So as not to take up even more bandwidth, I'll close here.  Best regards.
Geoff

Re: cd drives going out of style:

[Scott Granados]

CD disks do not necessarily sound better than downloads.

It depends on how much compression is used and I'm highly skeptical as to what 
the human ear can detect anyway.

I see value in the digital verses analog discussion but not in one digital 
verses another.  The ear is not nearly as good and the brain is even stranger 
when it comes to audio signal processing.

The whole CD thing is over stated.  Remember that the sample rate of a standard 
CD is only 44.1 khz meaning that you fall way in to the audio range and you 
don't nearly have enough samples per wave.  If you like listening to sawtooth 
waves that's fine but for musicality not so good.  You're way in to the audio 
range when you get to that 10 points per wave point and I'm not convinced 
that's even enough to accurately represent an analog wave.  The newer higher 
sample rate recording methods, even with compression in my ear sound better 
than old slow bit rate CD but thqt's me.

 my music library of over 500  cd's to my computer. i still have them all

 i don't think that cd's will go out of date as fast as tape did back in 
 the late to mid eighty's and early nineties.  despite the fact that i have 
 saved some of my music to my external hard drive i have not stored all of 
 it as of yet. but i do plann on doing so.

Today's Safari update says it includes "Improved stability when using VoiceOver with Safari."

[Bryan Jones]

FYI  - Today Apple released version 5.0.3 of Safari. The last bullet in the 
list of "improvements" is "Improved stability when using VoiceOver with Safari."
In the US the download is available via the standard software update procedure: 
Apple Menu / Software Update.
The install required a restart of my mid 2010 Mac Mini running 10.6.5 in order 
to complete.

HTH,

Copying music from my 3rd gen iPod Touch to the Mac (or a Windows-machine)

[David Hole]

Hi folks.
I know this have been asked for before, and there was no answers, so I'd 
try again.


Because of a system-crash, lots of my music in my iTunes got lost, and 
lots of songs lost their names and tags.
To make the recovery-process a bit easier, I'd copy the music from my 
iPod first (since it is the most important music), and then begin 
sorting things out in the folders with the iTunes Library.
I've taken a look at different applications that maybe should do the 
job, but most of that ones looks like crappy stuff that one also have to 
pay for... I don't trust that ones at all.
On old iPods, it was possible to just connect it to a computer, and show 
hidden files. Then the music folder got revealed, but with folders 
inside it with weird names with subfolders with mp3 and m4a-files also 
with weird names. But it worked.
I tried it on my new-bought MacBook Pro, but impossible. It didn't show 
up when using the terminal either :(
So I thought I'd try to access it by using the root-user, but to use the 
root-user is mostly impossible in OS X 10.6.5.
Also Apple have guides for accessing the root-user on their pages, but 
they don't work at all...
So one of my last solution that I can come up with, is to jailbreak the 
iPod, coz that will most probably work.
Speaking of jailbreaking, can I kind of "unjailbreak" it after I've 
copied the music to the computer?

If anyone here have better and easier solutions, please tell me.
Kind regards David

THATs not bad. I don't much like tvo vut if  youcan set recording times on the

Re: Behavior of macbook when lid is closed.

[Sarah Alawami]

And it really sicks. I know I've voiced my opiniononthis before but apple 
really needs to change that. I mean you can just close the lid and put it on 
your bookshelf and still be able to use it or wht not. I don't see why 
youcannot or should not be able to configure this. THat's the onlything I love 
about the other platform I use. I can close the lid and let batch convert files 
and put it away from me and eat or work on something else. all while the lid is 
closed. I really wish apple would take that in to consideration in lion or in 
the next or a next update of os 10.6.

 Ricardo,
 
 for me its the quality of the compression from the download that is the 
 issue that keeps me buying CD's.
 
 When I can get a download at a higher rate, up in the 700kbps range I'll 
 be happier, and one that let's me download the item within reason as many 
 times as I like, unlike Apple.
 
 At this time most downloads are 320kbps or less, often less, and yet I rip 
 in double this.
 
 can I hear the difference, not always, but often yes, granted not on my 
 iPhone headset, but on a good quality home entertainment system, or 
 keeping with the spirit of the conversation of cars, in the back of my 
 Merc S Classs yes, it certainly is notable.
 
 Its essential that the download providers get their act together and up 
 the quality of the download, and allow me to download my collection say at 
 least twice a year or so in case I accidently delete something.
 
 once I can do this I'll switch to downloads only.

Vmware Tools for Vinux?

[Teresa Cochran]

Does anyone use Vmware Tools for Ubuntu when using Vinux OS? Are they 
essential? If so, how can I allow permissions for the mounted disk image for 
Vmware tools to be extracted. Vinux says I don't have permission to extract the 
files. I tried using gthe ksudo nautilus command, but it still doesn't work. 
Anyway, I won't bother with any of it if Vmware tools aren't essential to 
running Vinux 3.0 on a Mac Mini 3.

Thanks,
Teresa

I agree,

This lack of basic customization makes me scratch my head.  Why assume every

Re: Behavior of macbook when lid is closed.

[Carolyn Haas]

Hi Ricardo:
c'mon, you can't be serious.  It takes all of 3 seconds to wake up the Mac, as 
opposed to at least a couple minutes to pull a pc out of standby.  Personally I 
find the close-lid sleep a big plus when i'm done working and just flip it shut 
and go on my way.  I've also had my computer refuse to go to sleep if more than 
one app was left open.  So, that might be helpful for those who don't want 
sleep mode to kick in.

Re: Behavior of macbook when lid is closed.

[Jim Barbour]

Yeah, but If I understand correctly, I start a job running in the
background and then close the laptop.  Reguardless of how long it
takes to wake up the laptop, my job didn't run while the laptop was 
closed.

Most unfortunate...

Jim

Re: Behavior of macbook when lid is closed.

[Ricardo Walker]

I'm very serious.  lol.  It's about options.  For example,  I wanted to play 
music on iTunes with the lid closed today.  Shutting the lid put the MBP to 
sleep and stopped the music.  How about another example.  Let's say you are 
performing a task on your computer and need to move location.  Are you going to 
travel with the lid open?  I wouldn't recommend it. :). Depending on the 
situation, you might have to stop the task you were performing.  7 out of 10 
times I don't mind the MBP going to sleep when the lid is closed.  It's the 3 
times that I don't want it to do that that gets under my skin.  This is the 
gift and the curse of Apple though.  They make well built, easy to use, 
dependable products.  The thing is you sacrifice choice in many regards.  
Customization and variety isn't Apples strong suit.

safari 5.0.3 , macosx 10.6.5 and braille

[William Windels]

Hello all,
I have just installed safari 5.0.3 after installing 10.6.5 on my macbook.

I was very disappointed at the first moment about the braille problem in safari 
that exists some months.
After a update of the os and a update of safari, the problem seems not to be 
solved yet...

I have tested it on m.facebook.com to change my state-message on the homescreen 
of that page after logging in.

The problem exists already 3 months I think so, perhaps a problem forever???

frustrating greeds,
William

mac os x accesibility with note takers

[eddy]

hey eveyone, I am a mac os x user who really likes the way voice over
works. I have organizations like. DBS division of blind servises and
other giving their clients who request computers Dell laptops with
Jaws screen reader installed. what I am aware of is that Jaws alone is
more than a thousand dollars recently I her two thousand. I wonder why
organizations like DBS don't just give their client a macbook or a
machbook pro and be done with it. then they whon't have to pay for
Jay. and the client can use voice  over which in  my opinion has a
shorter learning curve. I also recently asked a Vision teacher or V.I
teacher and she answered that at leat 70=90 percent  of note takers,
and all other digital devices are not comopatible with mac os x.
I would like to know what you guys think about this. and if there are
any high school and college students who are blind or visually
impaired, Is  a Mac with voice over sufficient enough for all school
work or do you still need a note taker?


thank you

 Hi there all,
 
 POP is Post Office protocol. It simply downloads all of your new messages 
 to your computer for you to read.
 
 IMAP is Internet Message Access Protocol. Your messages, folders, filters, 
 and the like can reside on the server and your computer syncs to them. The 
 advantage, is, so I am told, is that you can access your account from 
 work, home, or anywhere else and everything syncs.
 
 The problem I found that VO keeps saying, Mail is busy and it takes time 
 to sync when you delte, move, or do anything with your mail.
 
 POP is simpler and is easier to manage as far as I'm concerned.

Fun noises alex makes.

[Andy Lane]

Hi, Obviously we all know and love that alex breathes like a real
person but I noticed something today that I hadn't before, he can say
pst. I thought that was so fun I tried a few more noises and only
managed to find a few, I found hu and s.  I love that Apple
included these I certainly don't have anything so human sounding or
fun in Neospeech Kate which is the TTS I use at work with zoomtext.
Anyway, just wanted to share that incase you didn't know.  Also if
anyone knows any others I'd love to know them too.

Thanks.
Andy

Re: mac os x accesibility with note takers

[Nicolai Svendsen]

Hi!

As a rather frequent note taker user, or rather...used-to-be frequent user, I 
find the Mac is more than efficient for my study needs. In fact, I find a 
notetaker can't even handle most of what I need in my college, and as such, the 
Mac is much easier to deal with. I use the PAC Mate QX440, which tends to hang 
or crash quite frequently as I work. I mainly just have it in my house now, but 
I haven't turned it on for months because of that very fact.

To be fair, though, I've never found any notetaker sufficient for any real 
usage when it comes to others than taking notes. When it comes to using 
applications such as Power Point, at least on the PM, JAWS eats up too much 
processing power to be of much use and as such, most of the applications that 
otherwise might work fine cause crashes or slow responsiveness.

I'd find the Macbook much better to work with. It's fast and powerful, and does 
what you want. VoiceOver is great, but there are still some things that need 
perfecting. Working with tables can sometimes be a bother, until you get used 
to the various bugs and discover workarounds for them.

Nic

Re: mac os x accesibility with note takers

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

I think that's crap.  lol.  In general there will always be more compatible 
digital devices for windows than the Mac.  Keep in mind, most of the stuff you 
won't be using in the first place.  There are many obscure products out there 
that just develop for windows because they have the most potential customers on 
the platform.  I think this is a problem people run into less and less on a Mac 
as its market share grows.  About school.  It really depends on the user.  Are 
they willing to tinker and find work arounds? If so, then the answer is 
probably yes.  For example, I don't think there is 1 application for the Mac 
that has the accessibility and ease of use as MS word with Jaws.  Many people 
get by though.  They use pages, open office, text edit and a couple others to 
get the job done.  The same holds true with scanning/OCR programs.

Re: why the fuss over the MBA

[Yuma Decaux]

The ethernet is a 10/100 and not 1000 and the macbook air is a portable system, 
in the extremes. Meaning it would mostly be used as a wifi connected internet 
search pad. And some more stuff that actually doesn't require LAN connectivity. 
This is why they put it aside for other more beneficial factors.

I had an ipad before, and honestly i'm doing a lot more with my macbook air 
now, don't need to haul my pro and sold my ipad for someone who can make better 
use of the sight.

Ethernet is really not a requirement, unless this is your only computer.

Re: mac os x accesibility with note takers

[Scott Howell]

Ricardo,

I think you are making some very broad and general assumptions. There is 
sufficient evidence of people who are very successful in using Pages, Text 
Edit, etc. to accomplish a number of word processing tasks. HOnestly I had to 
use WOrd for something today  (Word 2007) and it was such a painful experience, 
I could have gotten what I wanted done in half the time if I had used Text 
Edit. I may still go back and see if there is any compatibility issues for 
future reference. The point is I can say that this issue has come up from time 
to time on this list and it always boils down to the individual and the task.

Re: why the fuss over the MBA

[Scott Granados]

Not having an ethernet port is serious weak sauce!

Even my Asus Netbook has ethernet (gig if memory serves).

Sure you might use wireless but there are lots of settings where having an 
ethernet port would be beneficial including being able to take packet captures, 
attach to networks in the field, diagnosing problems and so on.  I wouldn't buy 
a laptop with out ethernet.

Re: macbook pro battery.

[Mike Arrigo]

I try to remember to change it to 5 percent before shutting down, but as soon 
as it's booted, I change it to 0 percent, no sense wasting any battery power on 
a display I can't read.

Re: mac os x accesibility with note takers

[Scott Granados]

Remember that FS has a strangle hold and it has little to do with cost benefits 
or actual product performance.

FS has paid off some organizations for the blind that actively work to 
undermine the migration to Apple.  Just follow the money and see the 
interesting hit pieces and scare tactics used to push people to FS and away 
from devices with included accessibility features.

Also, FS has a real lock on state agencies.  Many agencies and rehab teams just 
don't know about Apple or worse still believe these hit pieces written by 
certain organizations.  It's a situation where everything looks like jaws, acts 
like jaws so jaws is the only way to go.  Lists like this one and the mobile 
access list are helping to spread the word and reports I've read here seem to 
indicate that agencies are starting to come around and allow their clients to 
use Macs.

You might try pressing F1 or function F1 a couple times to make sure it's 
totally at 0 percent.

Re: why the fuss over the MBA

I think the macbook air isn't made for special network diagnostics, rather a

There is always the ethernet usb route, but then again i don't think there is 
that much going on for network sysops

Leaving on Vacation and going nomail

[Marlaina Lieberg]

Thanks to all of you who have been so kind with your time and knowledge.  Just 
want to share that Gary and I are leaving for a Caribbean cruise, thus I am 
going nomail for the next ten days; internet time aboard ships is a costly 
thing indeed!

I know I will miss a lot of learning while I am gone, but will look forward to 
catching up with everyone upon my return.

Happy Thanksgiving to all in the US

Re: why the fuss over the MBA

[Scott Granados]

That's a shame because the Mac Air would make a good device for use in the 
field.  The Unix underlying operating to start is fantastic, having alight 
weight device like that to zip in and out of the colo with.. would be great.

You could use USB ethernet but that seems silly since I'm not certain you could 
get the line rate.  I forget the throughput of usb2.0 but that could be an 
issue.  I guess the idea is for field work it's best to stick to Intel hardware 
with linux installed or windows if you must.  That or lug around an MBP which 
is what I do now.

To me, it appears to act just like my MacBook Pro; that is, there is a power on

After shutting the Air off, Restart is just like my Mac.

So, what is this Instant On feature and how does it work?

 I just wanted to chime in on this thread. I went from using a netbook to a

 cool!
 
 That won't matter to most. Most will care about the hardware differences. 
 The macBook feels a lot more solid because of its unibody frame. You can

 the setup I created, and still have to find some ways of doing some things 
 on the Mac, but for me the Air just seemed like a no-brainer!

Re: why the fuss over the MBA

I think it's 10mbps for usb which is fast but not asfast as a 100mbps 
connection that's wireless.

Re: why the fuss over the MBA

[Yuma Decaux]

Yea the unix system is definetely good for field work, i lug around my macbook 
pro 17 when required and its a back killer.

Perhaps someday a faster throughput external device could come up, or else it 
might be a lost cause as the ethernet port is rather big. Reason why firewire 
is also absent in this setup. Scale and older technologies don't go well 
together unfortunately.

I agree. I mean I would just network in to mymbp and sync stuff over, if I new 
how to do that. and all over the air so to speak.
take care.

Re: why the fuss over the MBA

USB 2 is about 130mbps and the ethernet is on 10/100

The best solution is a GB ethernet connected through those new laschi usb 3 
adapters.

Re: why the fuss over the MBA

[Marlaina Lieberg]

The air has 2 USB ports, weighs a heck of a lot less, and is just easier to 
carry about.  I think it's wonderful that we have choices, and for me at age 
61, the weight of what I carry is important.  But, it's all like ice cream:  
some love chocolate while others pray for streets in heaven to be lined with 
vanilla,  :)

hi all,

I'm afraid I don't quite understand why the MBA is generating such hipe in the 
news at the moment. I know its a little bit smaller and thinner, I accept that 
and that it might be good for some users, but the fact of it having only 1 USB 
port and no direct ethernet, plus 7  hrs of battery when the mbp bosts 10? 
*headdesk* but I have a quick question.
Wouldn't an mbp, just the stock 2.4 duo core one, with a solid state 128 gb ssd 
come out of standby in say 3 seconds, just like the macbook air does? That plus 
a longer battery life more ram and a very similar price point, even factoring 
in the ssd upgrade? Since I know you can't put a 7200 rpm in an mbp13 is why I 
chose the ssd because a 5400 yeah, its a bit slow, no doubt.

So basically, why haven't people thought of this? or is it really just a few 
inches and a bit of thickness causing people to shell out for these?

Re: why the fuss over the MBA

You can find a usb to rj11 converter if you have to go ethernet.  I understand 
that can be an issue for some, but again, for me it's about the weight, or lack 
thereof, of the thing.  It is amazing!  And it is very fast.

Re: Today's Safari update says it includes "Improved stability when using VoiceOver with Safari."

[Linda Adams]

Hi folks,

I hadn't installed the OS 10.6.5 yet because I saw some postings about VO 
issues.  I'm hoping that the Safari update has solved those.  My question is 
whether I should install the OS first and then install the Safari update.  If I 
do them both at the same time, should it matter?

Thanks for your input,
Linda

Re: Oh boy

[Michael Thurman]

one of those and a good home theater system would be awesome I have not heard 
th ebuilt in speakers, but I am sure I'd still want a theater system to go with 
it, not alot of separation there from the sofa. I'd love to see apple come out  
with a 35 or 42 or bigger display I bet they coudl do a 42 for not alo tmore 
than just a good hd set would cost anyway  if they did I'd robably go that 
route for the main home theater. I don't care abo th display, but my girlfriend 
would want a decent size screen and I don't think 27 is quite big enough for a 
living room

Re: cd drives going out of style:

ok the problem is where do you buy higher resolution music? sacd is dead as is 
dvda because the playback equipment was so overpriced so what's better than cd

of todays' music isn't worth my time to listen to. I don't care to listen to 
gangster rap or the g this and g that trash lol I like music that is music and 
the for the most part forgot how tw to do that sometimes  in the 90s. the last

 When I can get a download at a higher rate, up in the 700kbps range I'll

 At this time most downloads are 320kbps or less, often less, and yet I rip

 Its essential that the download providers get their act together and up 
 the quality of the download, and allow me to download my collection say at 
 least twice a year or so in case I accidently delete something.
 
 once I can do this I'll switch to downloads only.

Re: Behavior of macbook when lid is closed.

[Michael Thurman]

exactly  that's why I don't use an external keyboard  I'd prefer that and 
keeping my mac closed to keep kitties off the built in keyboard  maybe it will 
last longer that way
 not to mention that often I'd put the mac on the home theater in the living 
room and kick back with the wireless keyboard in my lap instead of the laptop
Id rather spill a drink in my keyboard than my mac

 Hi Ricardo - The only way I was ever able to get my macbook or mbp to stay 
 awake with the lid closed was to have an external monitor attached. When I 
 did that, it worked great and I could access everything, put it to sleep, 
 wake it up and restart it using the external USB keyboard, but whenever I 
 tried it without an external monitor attached it would awake for a couple 
 of seconds and then go right back to sleep. The last macbook I had was a 
 late 2008 aluminum model, so maybe things have changed for the better on 
 the newer models, I don't know.

Re: macbook pro battery.

[Les Kriegler]

Hi Sarah,

Well, I just had my wife look at the display.  She said the brightness was not 
good at all until i started raising it with the F F2 key combination.  When at 
100%, she stated it was much improved.  So it would appear that the setting is 
being held on my machine at 0%.

tiny iphone keyboards

[Sonnia]

Hi all. I purchased a freedom iconex folding bluetooth keyboard for my
iPhone 4. It snapped in half and doesn't work anymore. I was wondering
if anyone had an idea of what "mini" keyboard i could use for my
phone. I am hoping i can find a keyboard that's about the size of a
blackberry or android's keyboard so it's not to bulky. Any
suggestions?
Thanks!

Subject: tiny iphone keyboards



Hi all. I purchased a freedom iconex folding bluetooth keyboard for my
iPhone 4. It snapped in half and doesn't work anymore. I was wondering
if anyone had an idea of what "mini" keyboard i could use for my
phone. I am hoping i can find a keyboard that's about the size of a
blackberry or android's keyboard so it's not to bulky. Any
suggestions?
Thanks!

Amazon does downloads of 320kbps. THAT"S about as high as you are gong ot get 
and don't forget the niquest theory. That puts a damper on things. Google that 
one as that's way off the scopeof this list.

Re: cd drives going out of style:

[Sarah Alawami]

OUch! amazon has cheaper music and it comes in goodquality. Also you can burn 
them to cd and back them up that way and in my case convert them to mp3 or 
32kbps AAC which sounds great!

Good luck.

 Ricardo,
 
 for me its the quality of the compression from the download that is the 
 issue that keeps me buying CD's.
 
 When I can get a download at a higher rate, up in the 700kbps range I'll 
 be happier, and one that let's me download the item within reason as many 
 times as I like, unlike Apple.
 
 At this time most downloads are 320kbps or less, often less, and yet I rip 
 in double this.
 
 can I hear the difference, not always, but often yes, granted not on my 
 iPhone headset, but on a good quality home entertainment system, or 
 keeping with the spirit of the conversation of cars, in the back of my 
 Merc S Classs yes, it certainly is notable.
 
 Its essential that the download providers get their act together and up 
 the quality of the download, and allow me to download my collection say at 
 least twice a year or so in case I accidently delete something.
 
 once I can do this I'll switch to downloads only.
