Anzac biscuit recipe. By law, since 1992, they CANNOT be sold as "cookies," they MUST be biscuits.

 1-1/4 cups plain flour, sifted
 1 cup rolled oats
 1/2 cup caster sugar
 3/4 cup desiccated coconut
 2 tablespoons* golden syrup
 150g unsalted butter, chopped
 1/2 teaspoon bicarb soda

*The Australian tablespoon for some unknown reason, is 20ml, most other places it's 15ml. Go figure. An Australian cup measure is 250ml.

Step 1: Preheat oven to 170°C. Place the flour, oats, sugar and coconut in a large bowl and stir to combine.

Step 2: In a small saucepan place the golden syrup and butter and stir over low heat until the butter has fully melted. Mix the bicarb soda with 1-1/2 tablespoons water and add to the golden syrup mixture. It will bubble whilst you are stirring together so remove from the heat.

Step 3: Pour into the dry ingredients and mix together until fully combined. Roll tablespoonfuls of mixture into balls and place on baking trays lined with non stick baking paper, pressing down on the tops to flatten slightly.

Step 4: Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.

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.

Nonsense. Without questions there can be no answers. Ask away.

lack of sugar?

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

Dyslexic IT technicians wait ages for a USB, then three come along at once.

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.

I rather suspect if cobblestones are an issue that having the saddle permanently attached would be vital.

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.
