I guess this article was meant as a tribute to Jobs but this comes over as extremely silly and pointless - attributing the advances of IT and Jobs' important role in it - as a 'gift' to 'the church'. This could equally be seen as a gift to devil worship cults, atheist groups, digital

I am sure that the writer of the article was fully aware of the potential for misuse of Job's products as he was of the good use of them. He was viewing the situation with respect to the Church from the point of view of a glass being half full. Merv On Sat3Sep2011 Sat3Sep1:52 PM, Warren

Hi John, It all depends on that word Integration. Apple have dropped the Xserve as a product but still has a server operating system product - Lion OSX Server (as Ronni has just emailed). I would argue that Apple have not ever had an enterprise level server product (in terms of functionality

As others have said the genius bar will help with Apple products, but as soon as they get a sniff of a 3rd party product you'll get a cold shoulder. The same is true of Applecare telephone support. Try google, apple.com.au/support, and forums such as this, or go into your friendly apple service

The other thing about the Apple Store is that you can't order a build to order Mac. You either have to purchase from the online store or go to an Apple Reseller. This strikes me as ridiculous! On 04/09/2011, at 10:22 AM, Stuart Evans wrote: As others have said the genius bar will help with

Thanks Stuart. He bought it over the counter at a local Dick Smith store. The Tech-sperts I think they call themselves. This should test that little promotional title! Whilst these are Apple products I am trying to load, I suspect the fundamental problem is the HP computer and Windows 7

Only thing is, you need to be available to take delivery. I had something small ordered, and it took more than a week to have it delivered at a time when I was available. So, ordering from a store and being able to pick it up when it suits makes sense to me. On 04/09/2011, at 11:33 AM, Martin

Hi Tim, Well it is worth checking but I suspect the Techspurts are a bit like the Technology Specialists at Hardly Normal. When the local HN have customers with problems they send them to us. (As does Kmart, Target and Dick Smith!). We used to help people out for free but it got ridiculous, so
