Re: New MacBook Air in the house - 5 weeks ago

(rich in distress) I've only used it plugged in, but will be giving the battery a good work out over the next couple days. This MacBook Air is replacing a 2018 Mac Mini which is a great computer. I have been using Mac Mini's for the last 10 years and like the small form factor. I'm only replacing it because we are moving and a laptop will be much easier to use over the next few months with s

New MacBook Air in the house - 5 weeks ago

I posted last week that I had ordered a new M1 MacBook Air(8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) from Apple. It arrived this afternoon. I ordered the computer last Friday, so it took a week to arrive. I used Apple's Migration Assistant to move files from my old computer(MacMini) to the MacBook Air. Transfer was flawless, no issues/concerns arose with the transfer. I also ordered a USB-C Travel Dock from

Re: Visible MVNO - 5 weeks ago

My wife and I signed on with Visible last summer and have had no problems. Coverage has been better than what we had before (MVNO that used ATT.) I don't know how many people are in the Visible PartyPay group we joined, but I do know our bill is roughly half of what it used to be. We are very happy with having Visible as our phone service provider.

Ordered M1 MacBook Air Today - 6 weeks ago

Pulled the trigger today and ordered an M1 MacBook Air today. Ordered it online from Apple and should arrive in about a week. I’m excited about having a new computer. It’s the base model with 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD. My computing needs are pretty modest and I think this machine will work well for me.

Re: Apple Two Factor Authentication - 7 weeks ago

I've been using it for the last year or so and have had no problems. Using a iPhone, iPad and and a MacMini and when authentication is required it sends a code to both of the devices I wasn't using. I'd say "it just works, " I have had no hiccups or difficulty in using it.

New MacBook Air in the house! - 4 months ago

FedEx just delivered a new M1 MacBook Air I ordered for my wife. It's replacing a 2012 Mac Mini and she is very excited to have the new machine. Ordered it on 29 Dec 2020. Delivery was expected between 2-9 Feb, so it was a week early. It will be nice to have a newer Mac in the house.

Re: [RANT] Orico techinal support - 5 months ago

Robert, Sorry you are having difficulty with ORICO and their poor support. I also purchased an ORICO M2PG-C3 drive enclosure. My experience with the drive enclosure was not very good either. It was hit or miss whether it would work--one day its recognized and all is well, the next day the drive has disappeared and isn't recognized. After a week of messing around with it I decided to quit

Re: You want 2x Internet for $15 less/month? Umm, yes? - 6 months ago

My internet costs $80.00/month for 300Mbps down and 30Mbps up, with a 1200 GB cap on data. Sparklight (used to be called CableOne) is my provider. At this moment I'm getting 335Mbps down and 31 Mbps up. It's way more than I need, my son uses most of it as a college student. Almost all his course work is being completed online right now. He is studying cybersecurity and even before COVID he w

I purchased my first Apple computer at a CompUSA store in Albuquerque NM. It was a a blue iMac G3, it was bought for my wife and I continued to use a Power Computing Power Pro 180.

Re: Terrible Teens? The Battle of the Fourteens - 8 months ago

My wife and I had the same issue with our iPhones and Watches after updating to iOS14 and WatchOS7. It was disappointing to lose some GPS tracking data of workouts. Not the end of the world, but it's the first time I have ever had to backup, erase and restore an Apple device after a software update. I expect more from Apple and its disappointing for a new software release to not work properly
