Keychain is my only experience with password protection. Do these password management programs like 1Password supplant Keychain on the Mac? Do you stop using Keychain?

Directions are at 1Password web site.

I've been away all day and will respond in more detail a bit later.

No. Keychain is still in use. Keychain does stuff that a password utility isn't designed to do.

Excuse me, I meant to reply to the below, where he says he has never used a router. Then he used the word broadcast and not connect, which would lead one to believe he was talking about connecting more than one device to the internet. Also the subject line is about DNS server, which is not often talked about in regards to cellular data connections.

So I would still like John to reply to the below question and explain what he means by broadcasting.

Thank you, Chris. You read John's post somewhat like I did.

which of course is very wasteful/expensive, if he could be using a wifi
signal instead...

It doesn't, IF I am willing to use my cellular allowance for ALL my connectivity.
For many people, their DSL line is faster (to say nothing of cheaper) than their cellular connection.

Is Hal even using Wifi?

The PC's were sent wireless internet from a broadcaster connected to the cable modem, maybe it was a router, but my Mac was directly connected to the cable modem as always, and I don't use WiFi at home.

I don't know who brought up the cellular comment. I only commented I don't need a router to surf the internet on a cell phone. Wasn't my original comment. Ask the guy who brought it up.

Obviously, iPhone users do not **need** a wifi connection to use their phones.
But the wifi systems typically in use today are quite a bit faster than the 3G or 4G cellphone networks.

3G or 4G networks show average download speeds of about 5 to about 15 Mb per sec.
The 802.11g wifi network has a maximum speed of 54 Mb per sec and, depending on traffic, etc. will typically show more speed than the cellphone networks. (Some 802.11g home nets are now running at 108 Mbps.)

Cheers!

I have been putting up with intermittent freezes of varying lengths for a long time; music would freeze, videos would freeze, the mouse would freeze. Sometimes they'd just be a blink in length, other times a second or two. I even posted here for help on the problem a couple of times, to no avail. I have endured it for a couple of years at least. I was nearing the end of my wits (which is not far)...when the phrase "zap the PRAM" popped up in my mind out of the blue. I then recalled I used to zap back in OS 9 and below for problems when nothing else worked. So, I got my fingers limbered up and hit restart. Command+Option+P+R is difficult for me to do, but I got it.

And guess what. I'm almost freezeless. Not a word, I know, but it should be. :) I've had ONE in the last hour. Usually I have one a minute or so. I'm wondering if one more zap will do it.

I think now the word is reset the NVRAM or something like that.

Just thought I would share.

Thanks again. I found the page and all our airports are listed, so we should be good to try passport boarding passes.

I have used for American Airline flights and have used with Walgreens card. Would have expected more places to use. Also don't really see advantage over other ways to do same thing.

I've used Google Reader for a long time. Any recommendations for a replacement since the end of the service is almost here?

I've switched to Feedly. You can use the cloud based reader. They are
working on connectivity through several RSS apps such as Reader.
