Since I was the author of that reply (and also the author of the post that clarifies that using one of these keyboards DOES grant you "input access" to the entire screen), I feel obliged to express surprise that anyone took offense at it. Typically, when I travel, I DO end up in seats like that, and it often IS noisy and chaotic enough that the best way to pass the time is to watch a movie, and propping a laptop keyboard against my abdomen for 2-3 hours so I can put my neck into an uncomfortable position to see that movie doesn't sound appealing. Moveover, a MacBook Air is twice the cost of an iPad even with this (or someone else's) keyboard accessory thrown in, so for many people who primarily want a reading or viewing device but would like to get SOME work done on a trip, the iPad/Brydge combo looks as though it really would trump the MacBook Air.
It's not at all about "looking cool." It's about having a tool and an entertainment center in two components that may work better than a laptop for some people, and at only a bit more than half the price.

Jim,
I didn't take offense, and I am sorry if you did.
But I, personally, think it is a silly accessory, especially if you bought it to just prop up your iPad. Apple's cover will do the same thing for less money, and if the plane is experiencing turbulence, they will ask you to stow iPads and laptops, any way.
If you insist on having a physical keyboard, was the iPad really the best choice?
I'm not small guy and so most airline seats are small for me to begin with, so yeah, a netbook or tablet makes sense on an airplane, but don't try to make it what it is not.
There is a reason they race coupes and not station wagons. Station wagons weren't designed for racing, and coupes are better suited for it. The same with tablets, they were designed not to be used with a physical keyboard.
But like I implied, it is all a matter of what the user wants and where they are willing to compromise. I did not say there was only one way to do things. BTW, Volvo used to race their station wagons and win over coupes.

Is Airport Extreme the best option?
Posted by: "davidpriceuk" dprice@fireflyuk.net davidpriceuk
Sat Apr 28, 2012 6:34 am (PDT)
I have an old BT Network 1200, which is in fact an old 2Wire Gateway router http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ I am under pressure in this household to make the big leap forward into wireless - we have four computers in the house, soon to be five (and three smartphones) and plugging into ethernet adapters connected through the domestic electricity supply is not always practical. I've been looking at reviews of modem routers and I've also been looking at the Airport Extreme base station.hardware/ reviews/43- bt-1200.html.
Am I right in thinking I'd still need to use the old modem router with Airport Extreme because it doesn't actually have a modem in it? Also, does anybody have experience of how far the wireless signal will reach with the Airport Extreme? I have an office halfway down the garden, and ideally would like to have a router that will reach that far (about 20 yards or so). If not, I could always use the wired method just for my office setup.
I'd be grateful for any advice or other recommendations.

David, I use two of Apple's Airport Extreme and have been very pleased with
their stability, durability and range. Whether the signal would reach your
office depends on what kind of walls and other obstructions it has to go
through. Here's a couple of reviews, and many more are available from a
Google search....Jim

Yes, you will still need a modem.
My Airport Extreme signal reaches *almost* 20 yards, but that is inside a high-rise building constructed of concrete and steel. The range should be greater in the open air.

If the Airport Extreme doesn't reach as far as you like, you could supplement it with an Airport Express closer to your office.

Not such a big leap, really. It's quite easy.
> Am I right in thinking I'd still need to use the old modem router
By "modem router" do you mean your "cable modem"? Yes, that is the access to the internet. The router (Airport Extreme or Airport Express) just passes that connection on to the devices on your network. You will leave the "modem router" connected to the cable (or DSL line?) as it is now, but the ethernet cable that is evidently now plugged into an ethernet router will now be plugged into the WAN port of the Airport Extreme, and you will pretty much instantly have a wireless network.
So, to summarize, I am assuming that right now you have your "modem router" connected by ethernet to an ethernet hub to which all devices connect.
You will take that hub out of the picture. You will plug the "modem router" to your Airport Extreme, and do some simple setup in Airport Utility to create and name your own wireless network, and then all the computers on your network will be able to connect to it.
You will like it.

David,
The early AirPort and AirPort Extreme Base Stations had the option of an
included DSL modem but they stopped offering that a while ago. No problem:
you just connect the new Wi-Fi router to the BT's ethernet output, and this
gives you the opportunity to place the Wi-Fi router for best coverage.

Re: Last Will program?

Bekah, I think the revocable living trust is an excellent way to go
(we have one), not only for the reasons Randy stated, but also to save
money for your estate. If your estate goes to probate the average cost
for lawyer and other fees used to be 7%, and it may be higher now and
varies by state. In Arizona it is more than 7%. If, say, your estate
is worth $100,000 when you pass away: If you go through probate this
will cost your heirs $7000 or more. You can have a trust drawn up by a
professional attorney who specializes in trusts for a lot less than
that. Plus, going through probate is a real pain in the ankle.
A trust is the way to go, in my opinion...Jim

If you don't have a will here in NJ, probate will cost you 15% ... A will is not the time to be "penny-wise and pound-foolish"! Also think about getting a living will, health directive and power-of-attorney for when you will not be able to make decisions on your own.

Approximately what is a very reasonable fee for writing a will?

Depends on lots of things. Call a few lawyers and price it. I do expect you will be surprised. I also agree with the others that you are best off spending a few hundred dollars to get the full revocable living will, and all the rest. Just buy the package, once you find someone you trust and enjoy working with. (And maybe someone younger than you, or at least someone who has a child or partner who will surely be alive when you are dying.)

Howdy.
Hard to know but I've now seen several messages in several different
groups about messages taking hours to appear online, about responses
not appearing, and about a couple of ISPs returning messages saying
that normal non spam message traffic has been blocked as spam.
I had someone in another group try to send me a direct message and my
Verizon ISP blocked it as spam. I sent Verizon an unblock message for
this correspondent's email.
I suspect there is something going on with multiple groups and ISPs
that impact message delivery. Perhaps a new type of spam attack?

Dan,
Is there somewhere to go to find out about current internet disruptions, assuming I can get through?
Obviously, different lists have different levels of activity, but when I noticed that the 3 yahoo groups I am on were quiet for 14 hours, that peaked my interest. I could not find any place to find a status report for yahoo list servers. I don't have and don't want a yahoo account, so I could not log into yahoo to read this list on-line.
I have also been noticing a lot of other internet weirdness lately. That is why I am looking for suggestion on where to find out about internet disruptions in general.

Howdy.
A cookie is a little text file that a web site can send to your
browser. The cookie can do a number of things but can make it faster
and easier the next time you return to the same web site to find things
of interest to you.
Nearly all web browsers let you delete cookies in a batch or
selectively.
I delete all cookies about twice a month on general principals as a
small aid to slightly safer web browsing.
Sometimes if you delete cookies the next time you visit a web site it
could take a tiny bit longer for it to appear or it might "see" you as
a new visitor to the site.
Cookies can do more that what I mentioned but that's the basic aspect
of them.

The control of 'Cookies' is under the "Privacy" tab in Safari Preferences.

The issue would be whether or not the two Macs could use the AC
protocol. Right now, new Macs ship with 'N' airport cards.

The benefit is both better range and speed due to the way 11.ac works. Of
course, this requires 11.ac on both ends.
And, real world transfer speeds will be substantially less but still a lot
better than 11n based on several vendor demonstrations at CES earlier this
year.

If you aren't a little paranoid about putting your data in "the cloud",
you should be.

Ardell, that is an excellent article, and should be mandatory reading for all internet users, let alone "cloud" service users. I have bookmarked it.
I just wish you had given the full URL, I don't like abbreviated URLs. Yeah, it is long, but it tells me where I am going.
