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!
Last time I checked the Virgin Mobile prepaid mobile broadband didn't work on Macs. Don't know if that's important to you.
I have a Verizon MiFi with a 5 GB plan, and with moderate use I've been surprised at how much time that actually equals. Consider that a CD full of uncompressed music is 700 MB, so you can actually do quite a bit of light surfing within 250 MB.

Currently they say it does.
is anyone else having trouble loading mobileme mail from the website?

Never mind. Had to clear cookies. Did the cache, but not the cookies. better now.
Really? I bump up against the 5 gig limit all the time. Although that`s our only connectivity, other than the phone. Which is unlimited data and worth it even though I`m so much more limited in what I can do, especially on this pseudo smartphone.
Yeah, 5 GB would never work for a primary connection for me. This is strictly for on site work and when I'm away from WiFi.
I'm leaning towards getting the Virgin prepaid mobile broadband thingie (unless anyone knows of a better alternative for this level of use).
ION,
For anyone who has a Magic Mouse - (I know ND does) - do you use "gestures" with it? Is using gestures the same as on a MacBook Pro?
I'm beginning to dislike the Microsoft Mouse on my work computer just because it can't do gestures. I'm wondering if I can convince my boss to buy a Magic Mouse for my work computer. It will make me way-more productive, right?
eta: It works (along with all the gestures) on a PC, right? Oh, and I'd need bluetooth for the PC. Crap, that'll make it more expensive. Unless I can find my bluetooth USB dongle at home....
eta²: Crap, only works with a Mac. Dunno why I thought it worked on a PC.
Quick Excel question.
I've opened a file and the workbook is so big on my screen that I can't scroll down to the bottom and reach the corner of it and resize it. And I can't get to the worksheet tabs and stuff that's on the bottom of the worksheet.
What command do I need to use from the menu to resize my document so the bottom corner is not tantalizingly out of reach?
Wait, so the Excel window itself is off the edge of the screen? If that's the case, you can just maximize the window so at least all of it will be on the screen.
Also, you should be able to resize from anywhere, so you could also pull the top down a bit (if you can) and resize from the top.
