Just ordered a new bluetooth headset from Amazon for use with my laptop/phone after discovering that the Astro 40 headset I currently have (and finally got fixed!) won't work with the new Macbook Air. Now I have to figure out what I'm going to do with the Astro... probably sell it ( Read more... )

Apple Support was able to help me get the Migration Assistant to do as it should (if the damn thing is dependent upon migrating your login account, then why is migrating the account itself an option you can disable?).

I'm still dreaming of eventually getting rid of all my desktop / laptop computers and consolidating down into a single high-end laptop (most likely a Mac Book Pro). Was browsing the general news today and found an article about these. Not sure if I'd ever get one, but they look neat. *smile*

Contacted the company that sold me the solid state hard drive for my Dell Mini and was surprised and happy when they immediately said, "You're right, we are so sorry, we're shipping you the right one out tonight, and we'll send a recall label with it so you can send the other one back at our expense."
