You had me confused with ISO, I was thinking International Standards Organization. After several web searches I finally found, in search of. If you had just said requesting opinions, it would have made it more clear.
I would go for the most RAM over a larger HD. Internals are never big enough, go an external HD to increase size. SSD's don't impress me for the cost, and I have not kept up on them. OWC would where I would start researching those, if they even make them for the MacBook model. They make them for the MBP & MBA.
I would think that more heat is generated by the CPU and GPU than the HD.

I understand that it would have to be 2011 or newer. That's out of my price range, though, so an intel laptop to take over for my PPC G4 PBs is probably where I'll go.
My question: is there a year to avoid? They have a couple that are too old but a lot of 2009/ 2010 models. It would be nice to be able to get the newest with the biggest HD and most RAM but that isn't in the cards.
The other question: If I get a less expensive one (smaller HD) I can upgrade with an SSD kit. Is that a good idea? I really don't like the heat the G4s generate and have heard that the SSDs don't do it.

Just to be clear, you either don't have a router (your iMac connects
directly to a DSL or cable modem), or you have a router but it is
ethernet-only?

If you had read the link, it requires direct ethernet cable to iMac which is what I have always had. The surfing speed on the iPhone blazes now.

Never mind. I was just trying to find out why you were trying to use
BlueTooth in the first place instead of Wi-Fi. I had already asked before
but my post seemed to get lost by Yahoo.

Tks Randy
As a windows user slowly moving to OSX I have a question.
I am happy and enjoy not running av software. Is there a remote checker? In windows most av software providers have this I think trend micro call theirs Housecall. Go to the website and you can run a remote av check. Does Mac av providers have this?
If I download a third party program from a website is OSX built in protection suitable to check for virus and malware after download had completed? While I am capable of discerning dodgy sites that's never going to be 100% sure from third party's .
Cheers

There was another thread about what can you do in windows but not on a Mac
I'm am slowly moving to a mac and am heavily windows biased (solely due to familiarity )
So, why do some of you run windows as well on your mac? Exclude vitals such as the accounting software example as that's understandable
When I get to Mac I will despite my bias try to run only OSX.
Any feedback appreciated

We tend to be biased towards what we are familiar with.
I used to use more Windows, because certain hardware manufacturers did not provide software to upgrade their hardware that was Mac compatible. I currently only use Windows to get audiobooks from the public library, that are only available in digitally protected formats for Windows only. Then I put it on a Windows formatted iPod mini to listen to.
I have never found the need to use windows based accounting software, so that is not understandable.
If you were competent in Windows, you can be competent in OS X.

I don't see any answers to this yet...
In Pages select the text to change and choose Format > Font > Capitalization.
Also check the Services menu, you might have something in there that works well (my computer has some cool text manipulation tools from SpellChecker and others).

Howdy.
I posted a long reply and a good solution for this missing feature in
Pages several days ago but it never came through.
I'll see if I have it in my Sent mailbox and post it again.

Howdy.
I'm copy/pasting some responses that seem to have gotten lost
in the Yahoo world.
Actually this is the 3rd time I've posted this. It must have a Yahoo
Gris-Gris on it.

This is a weird issue in Pages and a significant feature that is
missing or doesn't work.
Fortunately there are multiple work arounds for changing case and other
editing functions.
Try WordService first and see what you think of it.
WordService
This a a great free Service utility.
Download from: <https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/10523/wordservice>
and visit the maker's web site also.
WordService provides 37 editing functions such as changing case,
sentence case, Initial caps, straight and smart quotes, removing line
endings and beginnings and attachments and links , sorting lines,
various date and time formats, paths, and more.
WordService works with a variety of Macintosh programs as a Service
including TextEdit, Pages, Mail, Stickies, Safari, and more.
After downloading, decompress the downloaded file and add the utility
within named
WordService.service
to your User Account/Library/Services folder.
Then restart your Mac or log out of your user account and log back in.
You may need to check something and turn on some of the 37 features by
checking on the check boxes in
System Preferences >Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts tab, then select
Services in left column.
Then scroll through the items in the right window pane and check on
some or all of the new Services added by WordService.
The reason for this is that some of these services may have shortcut
commands that conflict with other shortcut commands. You may need to
experiment with changing the shortcut if you use one that you need that
conflicts.
Then open Pages, open a document with text, select some text, choose
the Pages menu and pick Services and you should see the WordService
items you checked to turn on in Keyboard Shortcuts.
Same Services will work in many applications including the GyazMail
email program I'm using to write this message.
Good luck.

Where text is all in capitals is there a way to then highlight all
the text in all-caps and change it to all small letters?
I tried what Pages help advises but that doesn't change anything.
