"About time"?

Yes, but media/memory card slots have been common in PCs for much longer.
It's good that SD/SDHC/SDXC is now so prevalent that Apple have gone with
it, but PC makers did it much earlier. Yes, card readers are small and
inexpensive, but that's still more stuff to buy (and carry if you take a
laptop away from home and need that capability).

Well, we don't have 4G in the US either, we only have 3.5G, no matter what they call it. That is why Apple got slapped for calling it 4G in the UK and I believe several other countries, too.
The article does not say what level of cellular data transmission does the UK have, which might help travelers know if their devices will function to it's highest possible level.
So I guess P. T. Barnum would have said, "There is a sucker born every minute." when referring to those American tourists.

I recently posted a link to a list of LTE networks. Here it is again. UK is
not listed, so expect only 3G at best.

Hope this isn't off-topic since I wasn't successful in finding a group
dedicated to Applescript that wasn't inundated with spam.
Does anyone have any experience with an Applescript that could display
all mail folders in a list, then open the selected mail folder from that
list?
Basically, I'm looking to use the keyboard only to iterate the mail
folders in a list, select a specific folder, then display the folder
message list.
I'm using the Mac OS X Lion version of Mail.

Hi there,
I'm no expert but Mail does this for me without any script or other instruction. I have several email accounts, some with my ISP and some with Yahoo and Gmail. I was surprised and pleased to find that I need only open Mail to receive messages from all of them. Clicking the little arrow (triangle) beside the main mailbox separates things into the different incoming streams.
Is that what you want to do?
BTW I'm running Lion, this feature may not be in earlier versions.

Interesting. On my iMac 27" (rather new) running Sys X 10.7.3 it works very well for both original URLs as well as TinyURLs.
Big URL:
http://www.reuters.com/finance/ stocks/officerPr ofile?symbol= DRCO.O&officerId =548652
TinyURL:
http://tinyurl.com/7e25jqt
On my machine, both allow you to do this:
Hover the cursor anywhere over the URL. A small triangle appears at the end.
Click on the triangle to see where the URL leads you.
Cheers!

Ah, this is probably new. I am seeing a down arrow at the end of any link in an email, and clicking the link shows me (without actually going there) the target of the link.

Hover give the option for a quick view, but you were talking about click and drag, which produces a grey box with two lines of exactly the same URL short or long.

Re: BSOD on Old G4 Tower

It's a very stressful move so far unfortunately with power of attorney papers needed for my longtime school friend who will manage our bldg., our accountant is awol presently with our tax papers, (he DID file an extension at least) and our new insurance agent dropped the ball today in getting our acct. set up and papers mailed to us.
My wife leaves tomorrow leaving me to finish selling what I can here and taking care of all the last minute stuff till I hand off the keys on the 27th.
This is one group I will continue to receive emails from as I will continue using macs for the foreseeable future. I will be involved w/the arts there so I'm sure Macs will have a presence in those circles. I can't read Thai so I will depend on English speaking sites and groups for my info, tech help etc.
Macs are a little more expensive in Thailand although a lot of the parts come from there, which is why we bought our machines here off Craigslist. My wife's '09 13" MBP and my '08 Mac Pro w/a cheap 20" lcd, hybrid 500GB boot drive +2 other internals set us back only $2K once I upgrade the MP's ram.
So as long as the ship doesn't lose our container overboard, we should have everything there sometime in July. :)

Re: BSOD on Old G4 Tower

I can say it but I don't know how to use Thai characters to spell it which is why it won't translate. It means thank you very much. How to be polite in Thai is pretty much the extent of my language skills there.
Spelling for a tonal language is open to interpretation and frankly I have a hard time hearing the differences between some words that for English speakers sounds darn similar. Toss them all into a sentence and it's a tricky business.
http://wiki.answers.com/ Q/What_language_ is_khob_kuhn_ khrap
When I have a moment I'll look into the group archives about migrating emails from my G4 which is historically where all my email went except yahoo and also about changing the name of my Home folder, or if that is possible as I've read Apple warnings about it saying basically I can, but there are risks. The previous owner named it Apple. =\
The type of drum scanner I am referring to is for scanning film and can do prints as well, is a circa 1995 Screen 1030AI machine. It makes 8 bit scans at up to 5200 ppi. These were used by studios, service bureaus and scanning fanatics for the ultimate quality in scanning originals. Mine runs off scsi and is hooked up to a G3 which is pretty much the only way to use this scanner.
Unmanipulated files are then sent from the G3 to a much higher powered machine like my Mac Pro which can handle the 100-400 MB file sizes.
Sending files from older machines to newer OS X machines requires a 3rd party app called Shareway IP 3.0 which gets around the old AppleTalk in the G3 and allows it to send stuff to the MacPro.
I've heard of the drum scanner that you mentioned but know nothing of them.
Thank you very much for the idea of just junking the older drives as they will be that much less I have to pack and you made me realize I really don't need them except for the data. My plan had been to put them in external cases but you're right, they are old and the boot drive is already backed up on an external via CCC.
This G4 has run very well since 2001 which is more than I can say for my G5 which was sold. The G4 might get me $25 if I were to put in the effort but it will be donated instead.

Copy them all onto a new SATA drive, then copy *that* to 2nd new SATA drive
as a backup. What's the total size?

If you can afford it, get a Time Capsule. It is an Airport Extreme with a hard drive built-in for using Time Machine. I bought mine refurbished from the US Apple site. (Make sure to check which version you are purchasing, and get the newest).

I bought a 1 TB Time Capsule, and used it for a while, then stopped.
It worked fine for Time Machine backups, except (1) wireless backups were slow, and (2) if I am going to tether a drive to use it for Time Machine backups, why do it with yet another cable (ethernet), when I *could* do it with a dedicated drive on my FireWire 800 chain.
Also, I was going to use it to relay my Wifi from my Airport Extreme to a more remote part of my house, and (3) I decided not to set up that location, and (4) I got good Wifi on the second floor, when I needed it, from the Airport Extreme.
I would be happy to sell the Time Capsule (3rd gen, I think) for less than what the same size (1 TB) sells for now.

Yes. If you can provide an "aliased" URL (tinyURL, bit.ly, etc.), then you

I don't think it has anything to do with politeness. Maybe, if the sender wants to post a Tiny they could post the full URL, also. Personally, I like to see the URL I'm being sent to. I never click on TinyURLs. Different people have different preferences. :-)

O'Brien: Posting both the URL and the TinyURL would satisfy most people.
But, in my humble opinion, the URL does not really tell you much about where you are about to go with this. The TinyURl tells you even less. In fact the TinyURL tells you absolutely nothing.
Can you really tell the difference in these?
Big URL:
http://www.reuters.com/finance/ stocks/officerPr ofile?symbol= DRCO.O&officerId =548652
TinyURL:
http://tinyurl.com/7e25jqt
In Lion (System X 10.7.x) you can hover the cursor on either, then click on the little triangle at the end, and both will give you a preview shot of where the URL will take you.
No problem. I use the tiny URL any time I want to send a URL that is long -- especially one that takes more than one line of an email, where it might be broken up by the mail program. It is so easy to use, that it is just second nature to me.
Cheers!

It depends. Are you using OS X 10.6 or 10.7 (Lion)?
Have you run Software Update when it has said that there is new
software available, and then installed it?
If you read the Web site that I referenced, you will get all of your

(iPhone) Notes being mailed
Posted by: "DaveC" davec2468@yahoo.com davec2468
Tue May 1, 2012 9:50 pm (PDT)
In the Notes application on my iPhone 3Gs (iOS 5.0.1) some of the
notes keep getting mailed to my gmail account. This has happened 4 or
5 times over the last week.
Is there some setting that I'm not aware of that permits or allows this?
I know there's a "Send" button at the bottom of each note, but I'm
sure I'm not inadvertently pressing that.

Cataloging movie files
Posted by: "Anna Larson" pix@maksimo.de yovard@ymail.com
Wed May 2, 2012 5:21 am (PDT)
Hi everybody,
I'm looking for good software to catalog my movie files.
The primary purpose is to be able to find quickly genres, and names of directors and actors; then, having found what I want, the program should be able to launch the movie directly in my favorite movie player.
Additionally it would be good if the program could download and enter metadata from the Internet for single movies, for example the names of the actors, year of release, the name of the director, country, language etc.
Any recommendations?

If you're looking for a freebie, try Plex: www.plexapp.com
Cataloging is just one feature of the app, it plays just about any
format video and audio file, as well as has the capability of streaming
these either locally or over the internet to a mobile device or other
computer.
