Full screen is only a few dollars away if you need it that badly.

Just make sure you select “Allow browsing to any URL” in Preferences under the Whitelist tab. That had me confused for a bit. Fine now.

Look up “teledildonics."

How long are these police checks valid for?

Unlike my Macs, which have regular contact with DiskWarrior, his never had, so any decreases in boot-up time post-DW use have to be attributed to the efficiency gains released by that app.

His boot-up times, I suspect are measured until the Finder window appears, still have to wait until other apps load up.

My bedside lamp is connected to a RF remote controlled power outlet. The control is not always ready to hand so I have come up with a solution using a fime porcelain coffee mug & a super-bright (500 lumen) CREE LED torch.

The torch has a pocket clip on it. I mount it with the body of the torch inside the mug. The switch end of the torch protrudes above the mug and is easy to find in the dark.

The bright yellowish light diffuses nicely through the walls of the mug.

Some?

Suggested to a friend that he replace the HDD in his 13-in MacBook Pro, 2009 vintage with an SSD. He did that a week ago, boot-up time dropped from 3 minutes to 1-½.

On Wedsesday he said it must have been doing some sort of indexing as it was now booting up in 50 seconds. I asked him to bring it to the Men’s Shed the next day.

So yesterday (Thursday) I ran DiskWarrior on it. I’ve just received an email from him saying he’s getting DiskWarrior himself as it now boots in just 25 seconds.

My first foray into the Intel Mac world was a 2007 2 GHz Mac Mini with 2 GB of RAM & a 120 GB HD. This was replaced by a 2009 13-in MacBook Pro.

A small tub of super-thick double cream (56% butterfat) has revealled a secret to it by me stirring it vigourously with a spoon.

It collapsed down into about half its volume & went from stiff & very thick to reasonably thick yet fairly runny, much more usable.
