  • "'RAM is cheap. Look at upgrading the amount of memory in the machines in order to minimize SPODs.' Excellent advice, which I usually put at #2 when searching for causes of SPODs. SU is free for a demo period, so this step costs nothing and rules out a serious hardware error, allowing further investigations to proceed unencumbered." MacInTouch 1:40 PM
  • "[Reader] asked how to install Lion without the recovery partition. The only way I found was to first let Lion install the way it wants with the recovery partition created. Once you are up and running and configured, clone the drive to another HD (maybe two, for added peace of mind,) then partition the original drive to the partition scheme you desire, and clone back to the original from the clone." MacInTouch 1:41 PM
  • "[Reader] asked about alternatives to iDisk for musicians sharing GarageBand files. You mentioned that you tried DropBox and it didn't meet your needs, but this puzzles me; maybe you could identify the specific features that aren't working for you. I don't see any functional differences between DropBox and iDisk; you can work with GarageBand files directly from a shared DropBox folder without importing or exporting, just as you can with iDisk. I'm working on a CD project with another musician and we share all our music files via DropBox; it has worked flawlessly for me. The only program I'm aware of that doesn't seem to play well with DropBox is Quicken for Mac (and possibly Quicken Essentials)." MacInTouch 1:42 PM

It's a quandary that gets many conservationists in a lather, as they try to balance the majestic creature's need for wide open spaces with a desire to protect it from those with malicious aims. It's a dilemma that may have relevance for that titan of the tech scene, Apple." V3 1:59 PM
