I like a bit of a nightlight sometimes. Does not bother me to have it on as the screen faces away from me when I am in bed.
A few pennies of electricity cost is no biggie, although some ecopurists will hit me for that.
The point about the backlight is well-taken. I will henceforth curtail my occasional habit.
Gracias for the input. Oneal

Hitachi New "Mac Compatible HDs
Posted by: "Denver dan" denver.dan@verizon.net denverdan22180

Hitachi has announced several new "Mac compatible" external hard drives.
One has an 8 Tb capacity.
One is a "G-RAID" model.
Some have a SATA 3 port. SATA 3 raises the optimal data transfer speed from SATA 2 at 3 Gbps to SATA 3 at 6 Gbps.
Just saw a short article on this on TUAW. No mention of warranty periods — to relate this to recents posts here about HD prices, manufacturer consolidations, or reliability issues.

Those are advisory messages. Nothing still needs to be repaired.

If you can afford it then go for it. That is the one thing I am hoping is
affordable in the next gen iMacs (large enough SSD to not have to have
another drive if media is stored elsewhere). Currently I use ~250GB of my
750GB drive but could get it down to less than 200GB and live with a 256GB
drive. I have to 120GB on both my MacBook Airs and get by fine but I don't
have a lot of my Apps installed nor do I have the two Virtual Machines I
use frequently which take up ~60GB total.

SSDs are a great option for performance. I believe that you can put 2 drives into the 27" and 21.5" iMacs (one 3.5" drive and one 2.5" drive). If this is possible for you to do, then I'd recommend keeping your HDD, and adding an SSD alongside it. You can put your OS and apps onto the SSD, and keep your iTunes library, iPhoto library, etc… on the HDD.
OWC is a VERY good brand, but they can be a little pricey. I have an OWC 60 GB SSD in my MacBook Pro (also have a 320GB HDD in it for most of my storage), and a Corsair 90GB SSD in my Mac Pro (alongside 3 HDDs). Both of the drives have worked similarly, and haven't lost read and write speed over the time that I've used them.

thank you, Colin. OWC is my first choice in all things Mac. to quote a phrase.
yes, i can keep my 1TB iMac HDD.
it is good to hear positive comments from someone who uses an OWC SSD.
so, i am set to send my iMac to OWC, now.
thanks.

hi, Bill.
thanks for your response.
it will be a few years before i can justify another new mac! unfortunately.
i use 336 GBs on my iMac's 1 TB int drive. i like keeping it clean, but i
am not willing to move a lot of stuff, even if i don't always use it.
i have 4 OWC Quad ext. drive enclosures, 3 1 TB and 1 500 MB drives.
i still need a 3rd back up. keep putting it off.
so, i don't see how i could get it down any further. by that i mean, i don't want to offload what is on my int. HDD.
personal choice.
so, the second drive, a SSD, for Lion (and the next OS) plus PS CS5, Mail, and a couple of other apps are all i need on the SSD.
thanks, Bill.

"Compatible" Printer Cartridges
Posted by: "William Coy" WCOY2@WOH.RR.COM coy786
Wed Jan 4, 2012 5:50 pm (PST)
My Epson Stylus Photo R800 printer OEM inks are "Ultrachrome Glossy" pigment inks.
Has anyone had experience using "compatible cartridges" which all seem to be "dye" inks? Or has someone found "compatible cartridges" with pigment ink?
I understand that the color will be different. I am mainly concerned with a potential problem in mixing the inks. Or does one have to "flush" the OEM inks first?
Thanks for sharing any experience � good or bad.

you might try to word that so that it fits under our guidelines of Mac topics.
here are some pretty good prices:

Randy Singer (et al.) might help you out. Some trust "compatible cartridges." i had a bad experience with leakage back in the mid-90s, and have stayed
with (now) Canon ink cartridges.

I really like and trust these sources for compatible ink cartridges,
but I haven't specifically looked to see if they have cartridges for
your model of printer:
http://www.eforcity.com/
http://www.megatoners.com/
(note that their free shipping offer doesn't apply to toner or ink
cartridges)

Looking for an alternative to Address Book and iCal
Posted by: "Larson" pix@maksimo.de yovard@ymail.com
Thu Jan 5, 2012 1:59 am (PST)
Hello everybody,
I would like to know what kind of CRM (customer relationship management) program Randy B. Singer is using as a lawyer and what PIMs (personal information manager) other members here can recommend.
Using OS X 10.6.8, I am highly disappointed with Address Book and iCal. One certainly doesn't have to represent a big company in order to want to link a project to all appointments and meetings regarding it, the tasks one has to do for it, and the contacts involved in it. The need to link emails, notes and related files (both received and sent letters) to projects should also be evident. Seeing everything in one place when you manage your projects is of paramount importance, I believe.
Looking for alternatives I found a few PIMs myself but I haven't been able to make up my mind and start using one on a regular basis yet. It's a big decision because it's not always easy to switch once you have started.
DAYLITE (<http://marketcircle.com/daylite/ >) is probably what comes closest to what I need but it has an ugly (Windows?) interface which really throws me off every time I start the program.
CONTACTIZER (<http://www.objective-decision. >) looks nice and it can link contacts and the pertaining files (letters, mails). Any drawbacks, folks?com/
Is DEVONthink Pro Office an alternative? It's good for organizing documents � but as a contact and task management tool? Can contacts in Address Book be linked to DEVONthink Pro Office? Probably not.
Anyone using SOHO Organizer with SOHO Notes here and can recommend it?
Thanks in advance,
Anna
