OK, I used (what I call) pretzel-i and learned that the drive was nearly full.

*headdesk* I had forgotten that. Did it, and now have plenty of space on the drive.
Saving your other suggestions for when I need to replace the drive. Virtual chocolate cake for everyone!

I just had a computer "expert" come to my house and install an extender that had to be linked to my router so it was only a foot or less from the router. It improved slightly reception in the most distant part of the house as long as I was standing in the hallway (I have a long single story house with the router and modem at one end of the house where our desktop computers are), but not when I went into the dining/kitchen area or the living room. In other words, it really didn't do what I wanted. The only other solution offered by this person was to connect some sort of device by cable to my router, a distance of over 50 feet, requiring drilling through wall, etc. I have spent about twice what I wanted to spend because I had to pay for the tech's time and I don't want him in the house again!!
So here is my question, with my current wireless router connected to a modem at one end of the house, could I use Airport Extreme at the other end of the house and have it increase the wi-fi signal without having to connect it via a cable to the router? What I want is to be able to use my MacBook Air and my iPhone (and maybe, some day, an iPad) at the other end of the house and have a decent wi-fi signal. Would Airport Extreme do that for me?

You say you have a long house. That could be the problem. Imagine in you mind the path the WiFi has to travel to get from the router or the antenna to the receiving laptop. If it has to go through more than a foot of studs or other solid objects that may be the problem. A brick firewall, refrigerator, circuit breaker box or wall full of water pipes and plumbing vent stacks could be the problem.
What is your house constructed of?
Yes, a combination of WiFi base stations & repeating units could fix your issue. You might be able to configure it with an Airport Express or two to give you good signal strength throughout your home.
Airport Express is a cheaper solution if all you are going to do is use bridge mode to extend your range. I would talk to another local "expert". Small Dog Electronics is in your neck of the words, and they may be able to help or at least get you started by phone.

You can get greater range by doing one or more of three things:
1) Get a router that has an antenna port to add an external antenna, and then add an amplified external antenna
2) Get an amplified external antenna for your receiving product (computer, iPad, iPod Touch, etc.) specifically for use with "N" routers
3) Get repeaters
For a normal house, even a big normal house, you can probably get by doing just #2, which is really easy to implement.

I had an older airport extreme base station. I upgrade to a newer one to enhance our service. In our new house in Phoenix it would not consistently work to the back patio. We also had a long house. Also every so often it would go to a orange light instead of green. I decide to try and expand my system using the older airport extreme.
Called apple support. Found out that I needed to update the software(orange light). Did that & the tech worked me thru setting up the extension also. The older unit is sitting on a book case at the far end of the house. Now we have WiFi all over the back yard & thru out the house. No cable hooked between the two base stations.
Jus my opinion but I would get a new expert. I have a router from cox cable in our current home ONLY because it supplies both Internet & phone. Then there is a short cable from cox-box to 1st Apple Extreme Base Station. Then at least 50' to 2nd base station. No physical connection. ;-)

I used to insure my various computers with this company:
http://www.safeware.com/
I say "used to" because a couple of years ago they stopped insuring
computers that are more than 3 years old, but that wouldn't be an
issue in your son's case, at least for now. They insure against all
sorts of perils--theft (but not from an unattended car), fire &
flood, power surges, etc. I never had to file a claim with them, so
can't speak to their claims service.

iPad2, iOS 6.
I was just at the North Bay Mac Users Group annual expo. Macworld's Chris Breen hosted an OS X tips session that was quite good. Afterwards, I asked him if there was a way to use Apple's EarBuds to dictate into the iPad Notes app. He said he thought it would work, popped open "Notes" on his iPad, started a new note to bring up the keyboard, and there was the Microphone icon on the keyboard.
I just sat down with my own iPad, did the same thing: no microphone icon. I can't find any way to configure this in Prefs on the iOS device.
On my iPhone, the microphone icon is there, next to the virtual keyboard.
Anyone have any idea how I get this to work?
Thanks so much,

I'm using OS 6 on my iPad and the microphone is there on the keyboard. However, I also noted that you have to have a WiFi connection for it to work.

I should have done a bit of Googling. Only works on the 3rd generation iPad, iPhone 4s (and I assume iPhone 5, although Apple's support article was written before the iPhone 5's release).
Does anyone have alternative favorites for recording dictated notes on the iPad2? Given that Notes now integrates through iCloud, ideally I'd like voice input into the native Notes app. One limitation of Apple's dictation service is that it allows only a limited amount of voice input. The "chunks" are about the size of typical paragraphs. I would think that the server processing incoming info could accept an incoming voice stream, process it, and transmit text back to the receiving app incrementally, but perhaps that's asking too much. Does Dragon integrate into Notes, for example?

I just read a review and test of about five browsers and Safari came in
first overall, but not in every category. A big advantage, in my opinion,
is it used the least amount of RAM. Chrome was the worst in using a lot of
RAM. I'd include a link to the test site, but can't remember who did the
tests.
Although not included in the testing, I've been using Maxthon (
http://www.maxthon.com/mac/ ) and like it. But Safari is still my
favorite.....Jim

I find that I need at least 3 browsers:
Chrome, with Adblock Plus and NotScript,
Firefox, for those links that Chrome, as I have it configured, won't open properly,
IE, of course, for certain business applications that require IE only,
and last but not least, Safari is the default browser but isn't used much.
Firefox and/or Safari I find give the best experience overall for me, but I am pretty well hooked on Chrome because of notscript.
I like to use Opera once in a while for troubleshooting javascript. I have never been concerned with ram usage. Perhaps I should be. I leave browsers open for weeks at a time and I rarely see any oddness.
Incidently, I have the same system as you. I did install 8gb of Crucial ram after receiving it, but other than that, it's a basic model. I am liking it very well.

Hi,
Looking around for a large external drive and I see in the Apple store a 4TB G-Tech drive for £259. Does anyone have any experience of these drives? Are they reliable?

I have three G-Tech externals plus a G-Safe Raid, rate them very highly. They contain Hitachi professional level drives.
It's a shame G-Tech have stopped the G-Safe, this was a superb product.
Alternatively look at the Glyph drives, these are getting some very good reviews lately.
