Re: One Weird Trick to keep your i-Device safe during SuperB owl XLVIII - 7 years ago

Quotesteve... The study found that Seahawks fans are much more clumsy than Broncos fans, with 26% of Bronocs backers having reported a cell phone accident in the past 12 months compared to just 16% of Broncos fans. I cannot think of a reason why this would be true. Well, perhaps the reason is that Bronco fans are more careful than Bronco backers... Or the backers are more physically active

Re: Questions on porting a phone number. - 7 years ago

Home Phone Connect from Verizon Wireless. I think it costs $20 a month (plus taxes, fees) for unlimited calls within the US. You hook up your own house phone to it. It has a battery pack and a wall wart, so you can take it and the phone with you. It receives VZW service over the air like a cell phone, wherever VZW has 3G coverage. No roaming charges. I think other carriers have it too. Go with wh

Re: Old Mac software I found invaluable - 7 years ago

I forgot about Cricket Graph. Invaluable, and so easy to use. My daughter uses that too. My only Mac purchased new was a Motorola Starmax, bought in Feb 1997. My daughter uses it daily for word processing (Clarisworks, not even Appleworks though she has it), web browsing, playing CDs while she works, Reunion for genealogy. It's maxed out at 160 MB RAM. It runs OS9.1 and its downfall will come

Snap-To: it would automatically move the mouse cursor to the default radio button in dialog boxes. Disk First Aid Doubler: after a crash, it by-passed the 2 minute pause after the disk first aid check during reboot. Of course these were in OS 8 and 9. Not obsolete if you still work in those OSes.

Re: Merchant Services Suggestions? - 7 years ago

Thanks for your responses. I've looked at Square. It does not have a computer interface, only tablet and smartphone apps, and its keyed-in charge (3.5%) is higher than offers I've gotten for (no contract) interchange plus service, even including per swipe and monthly fees.

Merchant Services Suggestions? - 7 years ago

I own a small business with about 75-100 clients and need to establish a merchant services account in order to process credit/debit card payments. It is a bewildering undertaking. It seems the most advantageous type of billing would be "interchange plus", and no contract. My needs are modest; I estimate $250-$1000 in cc payments per month. Many of these would be taken over the phone, so

Re: Question about Verizon Share Everything plan - 7 years ago

If you get a warning that you are about to go over, call Vzw customer service and ask to go up to the next data level and have the change BACKDATED to the beginning of the current billing cycle. This will get you another 2GB for $10 (or go higher if you are far from the end of the current billing cycle and you think you will use more than 2GB). You must do this before the end of the current billi
