That's why HardwareGrowler doesn't mention it. That window shows everything the operating system knows about, and HwG can only notify about something the OS knows about. You should take the computer and memory stick (I assume you mean a USB thumb drive, not a Memory Stick memory card) into an Apple Store and demonstrate to them how the memory stick doesn't come up in the USB tree and doesn't mount, either. Printers may require drivers, but any USB-mass-storage-compliant device—including every memory stick I've ever seen—should work. > The thing that caught my eye in the Macworld article was the ability to see > when my WiFi connection was lost. … I thought, not having used public > Internet connections before the extra bit of info might be helpful.

It can be helpful if the AP flakes out, is too far away, gets turned off, etc. You'll know within a few seconds when your connection goes down, as opposed to staring at a browser loading screen for up to a minute wondering why the server suddenly got so slow. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
