Re: [sussex_mug] Wallet app.

They often do offers, so its maybe worth waiting until you see one. I guess you need to consider what it does and how useful it is to you. For me, keeping around 500 unique username and password combinations (for web server accounts), I think the price is fine. Graham Diana Hart

[sussex_mug] Where is the disk space being used?

We have a MacBook Air (250Gb) with only 40Gb left. No major panic yet, but its not easy to find where the space has gone. We've checked Trash, Documents, Applications, Movies, Music, Pictures - and none of these are large. Using About this Mac (and More Info, Storage Map) I see that 164Gb has

Re: [sussex_mug] MBP screen

We have a MBP, MBA and an iPad with a keyboard. All are good in their own way, but I would not be without having a proper computer (the MBP or MBA) when on the move. Still too many things we can't do properly just on an iPad. But it also doubles up as a tethering device when running a 3G chip
