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!
I just got my tablet hooked up to work Exchange. I don't want my email on it, but I want to be able to carry my work calendar around with me all the time, and not have to crack open my laptop to check what I'm doing next week. I'm very pleased.
That's why I have my work calendar on my phone, but not email. I had to do it through a Gcal workaround though.
There are new copies on eBay regularly going for under $50.
Oooooh.
My laptop is getting close to death. I am looking at these specs:
Apple MacBook Pro - Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz - RAM 4 GB - HDD 320 GB - DVD±RW (±R DL) - GF GT 320M - Gigabit Ethernet - WLAN : 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR - MacOS X 10.6 - 13.3" Widescreen LED backlight TFT 1280 x 800 ( WXGA ) - camera
for $1054 - good?
How old is it? Maybe a little pricey, not horrible, though.
new, sealed it says - dead stock, I think. was originally released 2010.
msbelle, that's basically what mine is -- I think the one you're looking at has a larger hard drive than mine. Anyway, I love mine.
Anyone here use Evernote Premium. I'm just installing Basic on my Mac, and I'm impressed I get on the cloud for free. Just wondering if/when anyone hit limitations that made them update.
Or are you using another note tool?
Speaking of tools, what do you use for task management. I have Astrid on my tablet, and soon to be on the phone--I think that syncs on the cloud, but I don't know of desktop options yet. I do wish I could have something integrated with my email clients, but I know I use too many. Still, some sort of standard API/widget functionality would be nice.
I just got Evernote for my phone, but I haven't played with it yet. The SO just started using Astrid. He likes it.
Well, I just put Evernote to good use making a multimedia note shared between platforms--I like so far. I had Catchnote on my phone too, but I think this wins.
I love me some Evernote, especially after they made changes to it and I can do rich text notes.
You can tell how many data you have entered into Evernote by checking the web or your desktop client. I have recipes in mine and more "permanent" notes that I need to find.
I don't use tagging very much.
As far as to-do lists, I have not found the right client for that yet. I do like Wunderlist and I might revisit Google Tasks again. But I think I prefer a plain text/rich text solution.
