Buffy ,'Get It Done'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
If I just installed 2GB of RAM, but it's not showing up in the system profiler, what's the most likely thing I did wrong?
(I bought it from OWC, and on paper it definitely matches the specs of my machine. And it's listed on apple.com as a compatible brand, so that's clearly not the issue.)
[edit: Fixed this -- it just wasn't fully snapped into place. My thumbs hurt now.]
Does anyone here use Mozilla's Lightning? Apparently IT at the new job is really into Mozilla, but I need a calendar! And I'd really prefer to have my email and calendar together.
Tab Mix, Gud? that's good? Coolio.
Does anyone here use Mozilla's Lightning?
No, but there are a lot of warnings and caveats from the developers here. Basically, it's a pre-production release at the moment.
Bah. I just googled mozilla and calendar and then came here. I'm going back to Outlook for everything.
I downloaded sunbird, Jesse, which is the calendar standalone version. I like that pretty well, but I do wish it had email too.
There is a sunbird extension for Thunderbird. I have not tried it.

Tab Mix is one of my must have extensions, it is fantastic.
I have a wireless mouse and keyboard. I have changed the batteries on the mouse twice in the past day due to a "critically low" message that keeps popping up on the screen, but I am still getting the message. I have tried resetting the signal to see if that would help, but it didn't. Usual the message just goes away when I change the batteries. Any suggestions?
sj, how far away from the receiver are you keeping and using the mouse? I used to have one of those that I adored, despite its endless appetite for AAs, and I found the batteries lasted longer when I kept the mouse about five inches or less from the receiver. I also found that as the batteries began to die, if I had moved the mouse away from the receiver (which would happen from time to time), moving it back closer would get the warning messages to chill out for a while.
Ultimately, I went back to a corded mouse, just because the money I was spending on the batteries (even buying them in packs of 30 or more) was just too much.
