Keyboard commands are the main reason I prefer Mac (or Windows) to a mobile-only solution. Yes, iOS is getting them solely, but they aren't there yet, at all. Even then, some are iPad-specific, so thinking of an iPhone or iPod as the primary doesn't work. On my Mac, right now, I could hit cmd-ta

No, I love my mac. I'll be hartbroken when it dies. It's just that between my ipod and my android, there's really nothing short of the convenience of having done things a certain way for years to justify a new macbook. Which is pretty slim justification if you think about it. I've got a clo

Sounds like you might have deleted the wifi service. Just re-add it in that same area. If that doesn't work, then under location, try creating a new location, instead of using automatic, and see if that helps. I highly doubt you've broken your wifi. Chris. - Original Message - Fr
