Now that TechTracker/MacUpdate is no longer with us I wonder what
experiences others may have with replacements. I have tried MacUpdate
Desktop which I find clunky, cumbersome and messy.
Does anyone have alternative suggestions please?

A friend has a MBP 17 he would like to sell in order to get something a tad
more portable:
MBP is: model 5,2 with 2.66 GHz dual core, 4GB ram, OSX upgraded to snow
leopard (will supply discs), NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics. He's looking to
realise something like $1600.
Please contact him
How much do they discount them by roughly?

Hi Adrian
New Macs are generally not discounted by very much. You can sometimes buy
about to be replaced models for about $100 less than original price from
places like Nextbyte. Because the prices are set by Apple, you won't find
any really fantastic bargains.
You can buy refurbished Macs

Hi John,
I would strongly recommend the i7 for $200 extra and all the RAM you can
afford. The faster graphics card makes a huge difference.

His Westnet Email setup should go like this:
1. On his iPhone Tap “Settings”
2. In Settings, Tap “Mail, Contacts, Calendars
3. Then Under Accounts Add Account - Other

5. When finished entering all details Tap “Save”

Hi Clive,
David has pretty much captured it. As an alternative strategy though, if you
want to insulates yourself from the ISP provided email account, simply set-up a
gmail (hotmail, yahoo mail) account and use that exclusively. The iPhone setup
for a gmail account is incredibly simple
The other advantage of a Google account is that I use Bigpond as my ISP and
often have trouble sending mail via their servers from the iPhone. Selecting
the Gmail servers as the sending servers has resolved all of these glitches.
Westnet may be more reliable.
I have turned off SSL on the send
I second what Adrian has said. It will make a huge difference to performance
for a comparatively low cost. You wouldn't necessarily have to buy Apple
branded RAM. You could probably ask the reseller to install RAM that you
source yourself and that would save you a decent amount of money.
Hi all concerned ( Carlo, Phillip, Ronni, Gillian),
I¹m no networking guru so apologies if I confuse the issue.

Hi Neil,
I am just heading out so I cannot respond at length now. I am not a network
person either so I could be wrong, but it sounds to me as though your border
modem is not in bridge mode. I could be wrong, but I don't think it would
handle DHCP etc. in bridge mode.

Hi John
Ditto to the previous responses. If you can afford an i7 that will
definately help - if you are running a big CAD package go for power.
Remember that a virtual machine is sharing your CPU.
Either way definately go with at least 8Gb RAM for running VMware/Parallels.
Note that windows (any
Hi All
Just adding to some of this, and I like others am not a networking expert. I
know enough to get by ;)
I find having the modem/router handing the internet connection and DHCP the
better option (This may be a personal opinion though).
The reason being, is that if the Airport is set up to

I have recently been given several iBooks for my giveaway project.
One of the iBooks has its powerpack charger missing.
Does anyone have a spare they are not going to be using and might
want to donate it to this project?
Thanks in advance,

Hi and thank you to Gillian and everyone who has contributed,

bordernet email address re-subscribing with his new bigpond address.

Hi Ronni
As it's got Ethernet ports on it, it should work just the same as setting up
as per ADSL or Cable.
It should just be a matter of plugging in to the Airport I would have
thought, restart everything just to play it safe, and it will take the same
configurations as before.
I could be

It’s extremely difficult to talk him through it using email.
