Re: OS upgrade . . . should I? - 10 days ago

Quotesekker I like High Sierra as a nice MacOS. If it’s easy to test using an external boot drive, give it a try. Thanks. A better choice than Mojave if I want to not deal with 64 bit only right now?

Re: OS upgrade . . . should I? - 10 days ago

QuoteSarcany Shot in the dark... Under Sierra, try this: Hold down Command+Option while clicking on the BT menu in the menu bar. This reveals the Debug menu. From the Debug menu, opt to reset the BT module. Thanks. Already did that a number of times with a number of other troubleshooting tricks - deleting the pairing, rebooting, deleting bluetooth prefs, etc. I hope the designers figur

Re: OS upgrade . . . should I? - 10 days ago

I have contacted them. Still waiting for a response beyond the troubleshooting they sent. It's a mouse developed via Indiegogo, so I know there's some risk involved. I'm pleased it does work on the other computer, so I'm willing to give them some time to get back to me. I tend to upgrade if enough things seem to demand it. Not quite there yet, so thought I'd see if there were other things I

OS upgrade . . . should I? - 10 days ago

Running 2 MacBook Pros, mid-2014, on Sierra 10.12.6 with no issues. All current bluetooth devices work well. Got a bluetooth mouse I would like to use. It pairs, but will not move the cursor. I have 2 of these mice and have tested each with the 2 MacBook Pros. Researched and performed all troubleshooting with bluetooth. Cursor will not respond, even though the device pairs. I tested both m

Re: I know Dental Implants are expensive - 15 days ago

I had an excellent job done with an implant at Columbia Dental School, and WAY cheaper than just "on the street". It is a post-grad program. My "student" was from Japan, where he said they didn't have this training there. Of course everything was supervised by attending professors. At the time, a full implant post and crown there was going to be up to $2400. Just to remove

Re: Anybody here have experience with home delivery meal services? - 2 months ago

QuoteMarkintosh And if your not talking about meal kit services, but are talking about a delivered restaurant meal... Please consider not using app based delivery, instead working with the restaurant for delivery. While many restaurants are forced to enroll in app programs for delivery just to stay competitive, it's not a win for them. They have to give a significant percentage to the delivery

Retirement is a non-option, both in finance and desire. But as freelancers, with the ability to pick and choose our schedules, etc., we don't feel as much of the grindstone as 9-5'ers. The job becomes balancing everything out.

QuoteRgrF I've never understood why people feel it's necessary for complete agreement amongst SO's or spouses... you're married or in a committed relationship, NOT clones of one another. When coupled long enough (married or not) you become halves of a unit. That mind frame isn't available to everyone and doesn't always work even within a unit - when it does work it's irreplaceable.

Upgrading a 17" 2007 MacBook pro . . . - 7 months ago

Hello, experts! My idea is to get a MacBook Pro 17" 2.4ghz core2 duo (2007-2008) in shape to send to a friend in Grenada. It's working and I'd rather it be used by people who need it. This is for her daughter to use for school work, email, youtube. They have one MacBook Air that is newer (by not much) which her mom uses for all the video work she is doing. Needless to say having access to
