    Air or MB what do I lose or gain?

    Dave, I think 1Password beats the pants off anything else. Basically, you install it, and the small Safari file extension. Every site you log into with a password is retained in 1Password. It works with iCloud so you set it up on one device and it keeps everything in...

    1Password is the best password saver/confidential information keeping software our there. Oh, Sam will argue it's insecure, but I think it's invaluable. Rockmelt has been remembering all my settings between my iMac and MBP. Also, just discovered Google Cloud Print which is...

    Tony, Was able to get rid of the advertising banner. Seems like it was something initially placed there, but once removed, it never appeared again. Gotta thank you.... I am really liking RockMelt. It's a really good browser. Love the feeds on the sidebar. I already...

    Steve, Oooh. Didn't mean to alarm you. Maybe they will be fine. I only remember when I researched different brands a few weeks back, the Verbatim discs didn't rate well on Amazon. Go look for yourself before deciding to return. ...and check out the Digistor...

    Tony, It looks interesting, but I am rather bothered by the advertising banner across the top and don't know how to get rid of it.

    Tony, Curious. Downloading that Rockmelt browser now. Steve, Verbatim BD discs got a bad rap on Amazon. I went and bought Digistor's own brand from Amazon, which was well rated, and cheaper. They work great. Let me know how the Verbatim brand works for you.

    Steve, My co-worker just got the same burner from Amazon. He loves it. He says it works great. I went with the more expensive Digistor, but that was just a preference issue.

    Tony, Aaaah, so you have finally purchased the MB Air. How do you like that SSD drive?

    Dave, EXACT REASON I ceased using Time Machine. Bogging down my computer.

    Can't argue the merits of Copy Cloner. Have heard great things about it. I have gotten personalized service from SuperDuper as well. The developer's name is Dave and he's been very helpful.

    Air or MB what do I lose or gain?

    Dave, I believe I am mostly correct on this... Time Machine is not a reliable backup solution. I used to dedicate a drive to it. However, it meant keeping the drive active and when it kicked in, it took up processor resources. Didn't help that it was a USB drive which was...

    I concur with Dr. Posten and Dr. Tannehill. This Western DIgital Drive with USB 3.0 connectivity is fine. I just bought one myself. You'll need to format it in Mac OS X Journal when you plug it in. If you don't know how, we can post instructions. Takes less than 3 minutes...

    Tony, Know what? When in doubt always check Amazon Reviews Reviews don't look particularly great for this. How much space do you really need? You can get Dropbox (2GB of data) or Skydrive (5GB of data) that allows you to share content across devices for free...

    Tony, Bad news. Sena Cases just got back to me: http://content.netsuite.com/core/media/media.nl?id=23069&c=431946&h=523714cc729d7e07370d Update for Case #73221 - "Cannot Apply Winning Coupon Code" Dear Ronald, Thank you for...

    Hmmm... Well, let me be the first to congratulate you on your purchase. With that 128GB SSD drive you are in for a real shock. I think both you and your wife will be thanking all of us for talking you into it. Listen... Want to give you a gift. I won a Macbook Air...

    Tony, Did you end up buying anything? Let me know which size AIR you are buying. I may have something special for you.

    Air or MB what do I lose or gain?

    Tony, This has really turned into a rather frustrating decision-making experience for you both. You only need the additional software if you want to take full advantage of Blu-ray since (as you are aware) OS X does not support it. I thought perhaps you would do all of...

    Quote: Nope. The music is on my iPod. I just need to access my Music on my desktop or iMac when I am adding more. Quote: You know what? If that gets you into an SSD drive, that's fine. As long as you are mainly using it for mail, web surfing and a...

    Quote: Bingo! This past week I bought a Western Digital 1TB drive to put my iTunes library on. (My review on Amazon sits near the top of the most recent entries). So far it is working great for the purpose I intended it for and it leaves me more room on my SSD drive.

    Again...I am agreeing with Sam here. If you want the ultimate laptop for your needs, you want the AIR with the SSD drive. You won't miss the optical drive. You will appreciate the portability, near-weightlessness, and screaming bootup and execution speeds of the SSD drive...

    Air or MB what do I lose or gain?

    Dave, Let me add one more thing... For me, the most important factors in choosing a laptop is slim form factor and an SSD drive. I will never buy another computer without an SSD drive. My first experience with these drives on my Macbook Pro has made me a "believer."...

    Hey Tony! I can't speak for the AIR but I think it might be perfect for you. Unless you are doing some heavy-duty CPU-instensive stuff, I think the Macbook could be overkill. I have the new 15" MPB Retina and it's really overkill, but I do love it. As for the lack of DVD...
