Anselm I am curious at what you finally decided to do with your mac os x dilema. Going through the thread didn't seem like a final decision was made. fernan On Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 5:23 PM, Anselm R Garbe wrote: > Hi there, > > at work I have to use OSX (on a MacBook Pro 13") for various reason

The "best" "smart" phones maintain 24/7 connections to icq, msn, yahoo, irc, google mail, exchange, facebook, twitter and regularly download all subscribed rss feeds and podcasts to always keep you "up to date". An ARM can be quite efficient, but as you might guess it doesn't *generate* power. And
