Re: [WAMUG] IMPORTANT : WAMUG Mailing List upcoming change

Hi, I'm definitely not in favour of Facebook. I do use it for marketplace, but only under an alias (which wouldn't be recognised by WAMUG) and I don't want my real identity on it. I much prefer Daniel's suggestion of moving it to a similar platform. Cheers, Kaye -- Kaye

Re: [WAMUG] IMPORTANT : WAMUG Mailing List upcoming change

Hi Neil and others, I too agree with Daniel's proposed direction.  Whilst I am a limited user of Facebook for my specific hobby areas only (BBQ/smoking, beer brewing and car enthusiast sites), I am not sure how Facebook could provide a search mechanism for previous correspondence on an issue where

Re: [WAMUG] IMPORTANT : WAMUG Mailing List upcoming change

Hi all, I must admit, like Stephen, I have stayed away from Facebook and Google. In the past, I did set up Facebook, Google and Twitter accounts but only so that, in my previous role as webmaster of Gilbert’s Potoroo Action Group, I could setup Facebook and Twitter pages and a  YouTube

Re: [WAMUG] IMPORTANT : WAMUG Mailing List upcoming change

Mmmm ….. Facebook sounds reasonable Rod. But I guess only if it makes life easier for those wonderful people running our group. The two most invasive things I have stayed away from are Facebook and Google. And so do many of my family and some friends. But lately I registered once again with

Re: [WAMUG] External Monitor for MacBook Pro

Hi Rod, I’d second what Peter said – I’ve bought a couple of external monitors over the last 14 months and both have just connected and worked with both my late 2009 27” iMac and my new 13” M1 Macbook air. I think the best approach is really to just think about: what sort of display real

[WAMUG] IMPORTANT : WAMUG Mailing List upcoming change

Hi All We’ve recently been advised that unfortunately our current host is no longer able to support where the WAMUG list has been sitting in Perth for many years. As time’s gone by, it’s now the only list sitting on a very old server and is due to be “decommissioned”. Because of this, we are

Re: [WAMUG] External Monitor for MacBook Pro

Hi Rod There’s a huge range of choice out there when it comes to monitors. But a few things I’d definitely advise to keep in mind - not all monitors are the same. So even sometimes a 27” monitor can have different resolutions (eg 1920x1080 which some refer as “HD” versus another 27” that can

Re: [WAMUG] External Monitor for MacBook Pro

Hi Blitto, I bought a pair of Lenovo 24” regular monitors around 18 months ago when I had to work from home due to you know what. I use my Windows work laptop but they work equally well on my Macbook by plugging into an HDMI port. Mac OS figures out what you’ve got and does a pretty good job of

[WAMUG] External Monitor for MacBook Pro

Hi Folks Please can anyone give recommendations on an external monitor for a 2021 MacBook Pro? Can one buy any external monitor (~$600) or does it have to be mac compatible (~$1000)? Thanks Blitto Rod Blitvich - Amy & Sam’s Dad . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
