Re: iMac power supply dies again -- culprit? - 7 years ago
Quotetronnei Quoteillustratton So how do you decide it's a bad power supply? Short version: Took off the glass and removed the monitor. Plugged it back in. There are four tiny LEDs on the power supply. None of the them lit up when I hit the power button, so I knew the power supply was a goner. (It's possible the power button was faulty, but that didn't seem likely.) The LEDs I'm looking at arby illustratton - Tips and Deals
Re: iMac power supply dies again -- culprit? - 7 years ago
So how do you decide it's a bad power supply? My old iMac stopped working some time ago - wouldn't boot, or would start to boot the fail. I could reset the SMC and looking at the three little LED lights - #1 would be on. On boot #2 would light, then #3 would light and instantly go out. I did replace the internal battery.by illustratton - Tips and Deals
Re: Please recommend prepaid Cell phone service - 7 years ago
I use H20 wireless with my iPhone 6+ and am very happy with it other than to annoying message that pops up each time I use it telling me how much $$ is left in my account. Uses AT&T network. I've used Tracfone and AT&T go phone in the past. I spend about $9. a month, voice & data.by illustratton - Tips and Deals

Re: Keyless ignition dilemma - 7 years ago
It is like a new car, but nearly 30 years old. And it was started regularly, waxed every 6 months, kept in a heated, air-conditioned garage. I'm keeping this one, but selling his newer '06 SL500 (with twice the miles). I just couldn't bear to take it out, snowing, on the day of his funeral. It's been driven in rain (once or twice), but never in snow.by illustratton - Tips and Deals
Re: Keyless ignition dilemma - 7 years ago
Just inherited my father's 21K, 1987 Mercedes 420SEL (he called it his funeral car - only drove it to funerals). No fancy, unreliable electronics there. Unfortunately the weather was bad, so it didn't get driven to his funeral.by illustratton - Tips and Deals

Re: Best deals on prepaid iPhone? - 8 years ago
I'm using H20 wireless with my iPhone 6 +, uses AT&T network and spend about $12-16 a month talktime, text and Data. My needs are simple.

Now who is going to tell me it's silly to buy a $1000. phone, but use a cheap pay as you go service?!by illustratton - Tips and Deals

Re: What's the current verdict on Yosemite? - 9 years ago
Aside from a few small problems with minor third party software (that needs updating), it's worked great for me - not unhappy that I upgraded. My hard drive crashed and I had to rebuild stuff anyway, it was a good time to go ahead with the update. As a side note, this is a late 2007 iMac so it's an OLD machine. Yosemite feels spunky and faster - but some credit may go to the new 2Tb 7200 rpm dby illustratton - Tips and Deals

Adobe locks out GoLive 9 users! - 9 years ago
Adobe GoLive 9 has worked fine for me until this last week. Sometime in the last few days Adobe shut off the license server and now GoLive 9 doesn't work. They offered me a link for a much older version (CS2), but said they couldn't supply the newer version (it was too old). I can not believe the arrogant attitude of this company.
