You're right, Betty! We did get around HK with no GPS, but we were on foot and had time to stop and look at maps and such. I really only use(d) the GPS when going somewhere I haven't traveled much in the past. (Like NJ to avoid traffic jams - which we've hit on occasion). Verizon does have

[CGUYS] OT: GPS System: Any recommendations?

2008-04-13 Thread Chrperson
Hi All! It's been a very frustrating spring. So far I've replaced my TX because the touch screen stopped reacting to touch. The new TX is great, but the GPS unit just - yesterday! - decided that it can't find any satelites. We've tried resetting everything. The Blue Tooth signal seems to be

I want to remove all personal data from my iMac G4 PowerPC before  selling it.  Will using the erase function in Dick Utility on the OS  X install disk be adequate?  Can I then reinstall OS X without including personal information so that I can demonstrate it  for a potential buyer? Any

My thanks to all the suggestions re. the UPS unit(s) that we have had difficulty with. My husband got serious and did some internet searching re. APC UPS units and found some info about the Battery Back-UPS ES being problematic when dealing with line fluctuation. We phoned APC today (sent them

I know UPS issues have been covered in the past. As many of you may know, I'm an advocate of using them. Recently (within the past 2 weeks!) we have begun having UPS issues: To wit: Sometimes, in the middle of the night (2 am - 4 am), two of our UPS's begin to click / beep. Not sound an alarm,

I just helped a friend pick out a portable Mac (bought a Macbook Pro with a 15 monitor). The Macbook Pro came with a choice of monitors -- matte screen or glare screen. My friend chose the matte screen. My guess (my hope!) is that the iMacs also come with a choice of screens. The glare screen

When this happened to me a while ago with a Powerbook, it turned out to be the (replaceable) plug end of the cord that was at fault. There was little indication that this was the problem, but the cord did sort of sputter when I first connected it at the wall. The plug end is easily replaceable

You don't mention a budget Terry. Printer recommendations would need to take your printing requirements and budget into account. The Xerox Phaser 8550 DP is my current printer, and I really love it. It uses hot wax technology rather than print. Black White Color. Not cheap to purchase, but

I got a call today from a sometime client. A Mac user, fwiw. She couldn't get her computer to turn on, having had to force quit something yesterday. Since I couldn't understand her explanation of her difficulty, I arranged to go over and take a look at the machine. Client has a very nice eMac
