I'd be real curious if anyone's had any success as a blind person with running ProTools on an Air. I suppose technically speaking, it could be done... but I! personally probably wouldn't advise it.

Ok. Now I'm very confused. I guess I'll have to go to the apple sture next time my mac is broken and check out an air. I'm thinking in a few years when this thing dies completely that I might get an air but I need a lot of hoarse power lol! I like the lightness though as I carry about 5 to 10 pounds of stuff a day that might put less strain on my back.

Take care.

IF SOMETHING IS SELECTED, IT BECOMES THE EJECT KEY. IF NOTHING IS SELECTED, IT BECOMES THE POWER KEY.

So then, how do you determine if that key is eject or power? My friend has the new I7 air 11 inch, and I can tell you beyond a doubt that the key on her's to the right of F12 definitely is power. Or at least, when the system wasn't booted, and I hit it, the system did indeed turn on.

I was just under the impression that you had to rely on the Command+E shortcud to eject things.

Oh wow really? Hmm. my friend has the new pro and the eject button is still the 1 to the right of the f12 key. So what just hit the power button on the mac book air and the cd will eject? if you have an external cd drive? On Apr 25, 2013, at 12:13 AM, Gordon Smith <gor...@mac-access.net> wrote:

The eject button is the power button on the new models. I just timed how long it took for VoiceOver to come up from cold start. After the power on chord, it took precisely 8 seconds.

llol. maybe my ear still work as that hd they have in my 2009 model has always been loud even when I first hit the power button, but then again I guess I'm used to regular sata hard drives not flash drives.

Take care.

I type pretty hard and rather fast at times, and I've seen a macbook air this year, and honestly those things look so flimsy ... I've got a macbook air from last year which is nice. It's got a nice sized hard drive as well in terms of the storage space. I can barely hear either of my macs though unless I'm practically on top of them since they're so quiet.

Hi all

For about a week or so now I have been using the new MacBook Air computer which Lynne bought for me when we paid our first visit to our local Apple store. The machine itself is pure gold! It's light, easy to use and has the most fantastic keyboard action I've ever seen on a MacBook of any kind.

Its backlit keyboard makes it easy to use for Lynne, and I just love the touch sensitive multi-trackpad. I have the 13-inch 256GB model and one of the best features of this thing is the lack of a clunky old hard drive. Apple has gone over to using flash media instead of a hard drive in its portable models and the change alone is well worth the upgrade. From power-on, the machine takes about 8 seconds to being up and ready to use with VO. It's a breeze, I cannot speak highly enough of this machine.

Kind regards
