Hello. There are a few different scanning options. The one that I think is even easier than OpenBook is DocuScan. The one drawback is that it requires internet access. If you have Snow Leopard or Lion, you can get DocuScan from the app store. If you don't have internet access all of the tim

Just out of curiosity, would that particular bug occur even if one isn't actively running ICal? I'll be staying tuned to the list to see how this issue resolves itself. Hopefully it will be fixed fairly soon, but for now, I'm happy I went back to SL. -Original Message- From: macvisionar

Re: Why use a TrackPad?

I'm considering using the trackpad much more, as it would better simulate with Lion the layout of IOS4. With the keyboard I find myself having to press the keys to "interact" with objects. It would be nice to simply tap in the mail message preview area and read it, instead of using VO-shift-down

I'm one of the folks who got the magic track pad but hasn't used it that much. Carolin, I'm intrigued by your description of your friend's mapping of keyboard commands and how you use these a lot, preferring them to multiple key commands on the keyboard. I am going to guess you're using one of t

Hi Chris, Your Macbook will be fine to get started with Pro tools. However here are some things you'll want to know. 1. Pro Tools is not currently supported with Lion, so if you've got Lion, you'll need to go back to snow leopard for the time being. 2. I'd recommend getting an MBox 2 which is

I know some others have had success with putting the letters pwn in front of the youtube address to get to a web service that lets you take the audio off. So, you'd put in www.pwnyoutube.com/whatever and then get a choice of services to use. That's PWN by the way, just in case VO pronounces it

Hi, In part yes it would. iCal actually runs as a daemon process and unless you kill the process then it is always running in memory. There are ways to do this but it's not recommended. I myself am waiting for the updates. Regards, Keith Watson On Jul 25, 2011, at 6:49 PM, Missy Hoppe wrote:
