Yes, I think this is another aspect of the increased res.

In which case you probably wear glasses? If you've seen an iPhone 4 vs 3GS
you will know what we mean.
(I'm 61 and need glasses for reading, iPhone, and computer.)

I have a question...hope someone can help me out here.
I am trying to download a chat site for mac but keep getting a "download error occurred" message. I am thinking I may need an upgrade called Adobe AIR 3. Does anyone know where I would purchase this and how much? Also where on my mac pro can I go to find out what I have right now and what version of flash I have?
Thank You for your help in advance!

One variable is: no extended warranty versus "old" Applecare warranty versus "new" Applecare plus warranty.

Another is the pending intro of a new version of the phone and some unsold inventory of the previous version.
My son shattered the glass on his iPhone 4's screen. The 4s was about to be introduced. My son's warranty was expired, but the genius at the NYC glass cube replaced it with a refurb with no hesitation whatsoever.

Terry,
And where did you see that the screen res is not adjustable as with all past and current Macs?

And further, the part of a portable computer MOST likely to fail over time (sometimes even arrive from the factory not working) is the optical drive. I would MUCH rather have an external one, that, if I travel with it, I can pack especially well....

I got mixed up here. It's Dictionary Cleaner that has no Unicode support. -- I haven't used them both for a long time. Many of my old imported entries in Dictionary Editor are now displayed incorrectly. I guess it's time for me to do some cleaning and see if Dictionary Editor still works under Lion.

Thanks Anna,
I'm not interesting in adding words for spelling, but words to dictionaries with definitions. I'd like a Medical dictionary, a Slang dictionary, a legal dictionary...
I am playing with the Apple Dictionary.dictionary contents in Root/Library/ Dictionaries/ , but think it will be too complicated to modify.
This al started when I wanted to look up the word "squicky" and it was in none of the OS X dictionaries. I found it online, but could not find anyway to get it into the integrated dictionaries.

Lion questions. Help needed.

keith whaley here:
Mac OS 10.7.3 Lion
New iMac / mid-2011 refurb
I need some help with Lion. It is not acting as I'd expect. Way too different from 10.6.8!
I have my old iMac (Mid 2007) and this new one side by side.
Before I pass off the older one to my son, I'm taking some stuff off.
Most of it was transferred by the Geek Squad, but I'm transferring odds'n'ends by way of a memory stick.
Problem statement:
Put memory stick in USB2 port on the older computer, copied some stuff over to it.
Put the memory stick in the new computer, it shows up on the desktop. I do a "Get Info" on it and it says the stick has approx. 2/3 of it's 32 GB used, the rest is free. That confirms the data was transferred.
Okay, my problem is, there seems to be nothing I can do to view what's ON that memory stick!
Double clicking on it brings up a window with nothing in it. No list of files as I had expected.
I tried other methods I used to use, to get it to list what's on it, and no success.
Who has an idea why? How might I persuade it to list it's own contents?
Thanks, keith
