Progress is being made with the Opera browser for Mac & PC. Previously, to get their browser proxy-based "VPN," one had to install the Developer version of Opera. But I noticed today that the feature has been migrated to the more stable Beta version. Shouldn't be long before it's available in the full-release version.
@kdfrawg I currently (accidental pun) use a Lenmar ChugPlug battery with my MBA. It's a 4000 mAh battery that sits between the laptop's earthed extension cable & the power adaptor itself. http://d.pr/i/HbFp 120-240 VAC in, stored as 11.1 VDC and outputted as 120-240 VAC @65 Watts. AC in, charges internal battery, inverted to AC then back down to 24VDC into MBA. It can take my MBA from 15% charge to fully charged in one discharge cycle.

@kdfrawg He considered doing that but the already had a HyperJuice available.

@sumudu A friend paid me AU$400 a few months ago for a similar MBA with a battery that's only good for 3 hours. His son uses it at university. My friend Patrick is a Mac technician and has cheap access to the HyperJuice range of external battery packs that are compatible with MAcBook Airs.
@jextxadore I rather suspect if cobblestones are an issue that having the saddle permanently attached would be vital.

@matigo I did. My current 11-in MBA is an ex-Apple machine, just 2 years old with the maximum available upgrades applied. Core i7, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD. Paid AU$1495 and recovered AU$400 by selling the old one to a friend. AU$1095 at current exchange rates is US$826.
It's all very well Van Morrison assuring me it's a marvellous night for a Moondance but this cop handing me my pants doesn't agree.
