Haven't been online for a while, and am surprised that no-one has provided feedback yet. In regards to your question: Time machine will probably be the easiest to use, both in setting up and recovering, as it is pretty much set and forget and has a very non-techy GUI for recovery Time machine...

When you do get a connection, how strong is the signal. If it's very weak (but your other devices can connect with no issues), then can you maintain a strong connection at another location (eg office, friend's place, or a public wifi hotspot). If you're getting a weak signal everywhere and...

SOULphIRE, I assume your ordering those five for work. What type of applications are you using them for? The design and manufacturing look incredible, but I'm curious to see how these things perform in real world conditions. I have my reservations about how good the wireless reception will be...

If your mac friend is simply reading from your hard drive, then an NTFS formated drive will also work. You only need the NTFS3G drivers if you want a mac to write to a NTFS drive.

I'm not too familiar with your particular satellite connection, but I would assume that it has some sort of modem which receives and transmit to the satellite. If this is correct, how do you connect your imac to this modem? If you connect your imac wirelessly to the modem already, then your...

Simple answer is no. The system is designed to go into editing name mode when you press the enter key. However if your like me and you prefer using keyboard as opposed to mouse (I started off in the dark old days of DOS with no mouse, but have since moved to Mac), then you just press COMMAND...

Yes I agree, dust is everywhere and it will always find itself into a computer. I just raise the idea of one of those electrostatic filters for an very dusty environment (though it doesn't like that dusty from the photo). Though now having a think about it, maybe a more practical solution...

So you use four screens on the primary machine to do video editing, and use a secondary machine for everything else. My question is do you need to have all four screens for the applications on the secondary screen? As a suggestion, couldn't you simply just switch one or two screens to...

Re: NEED HELP FROM A TECH GURU - controlling two PC's simultaneously with a single mo It might be useful to describe what type of software or operation your running on both machines to help people provide other suggestions. But my feedback would be not to find a mouse/keyboard that can control...

I wouldn't really trust any dust repellent spray either. I suspect that its more an issue of the color (black does show up dust much, much, much more. However if it is a very dusty environment, I've seen some people use some electrostatic air filters (similar to the ones that people use to get...

Not quite sure if I understand completely. So might clarify. The way I'm reading this is that you have two computers, each running a dual screen setup. ie Computer 1 is connected to monitor 1 and 2. And computer 2 is connected to monitor 3 and 4. What you would then like to do is use one...

Been a while since I had been digging around in windows and forgotten all about the App Data folders. Thanks, thats exactly what I was looking for.

Issue now resolved. Digging around a bit more on the computer I found that I could launch applications from the actual exe file, or by one of their document files. But when ever I created a shortcut it would revert back to launching photoshop. This led me to check the file association for...

Thanks for the link. Video is also very good. However, I'm not able to launch windows live mail due to an issue with the computer. So looking at a way to manually extract the actual files that Live Mail uses to store everything just in case I lose it when I try resolve the windows issue.

As mentioned in my other thread here, my windows 7 machine is playing up big time. So I'd like to find out where Windows Live Mail stores its emails and addresses so that I can prepare backup in case I have to do an erase and install.
