dcp, yes! I've come to agree with you that it's too small. I need it for travel too; I'm planning on taking it to the UK this fall. Thanks for the recs! I like Toshiba too, that was on my short list already. How heavy are they?
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Mine is 3.2 lbs. The ones I linked to above are a little larger, and weigh about 4.3 lbs.

I adore my 11" MacBook Air, but that only really works if you're a Mac person.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I also adore my 11" MacBook Air, and it is my first Mac.

Stop tempting me to the Dark Side!
I fear it wouldn't be compatible with all the stuff I have on the PC platform that I'd be moving over. And by "not compatible" I mean, I couldn't easily figure it out. I'm going for a shallow learning curve, here. Like, flat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay--my NAS does not like Lion.
I'm trying to save a document in Elements, and I navigate to a folder full of symlinks to other folders on the NAS. Can't navigate past them. I doubleclick on "venus" and it replaces the filename with "venus", and doesn't resolve the symbolic link. Who am I supposed to be pissed at here--Apple, or Seagate? (Hell, or Adobe--I can navigate this way in Finder, after all)
Seagate's NAS is no longer compatible with Time Machine, which is why I ask. I am mad at them about that--my firmware is up to date, and everything. It's a kind of useless lump of spinning silicon at the moment.

I have a Seagate NAS that broke Time Machine, but they did release a firmware update that fired it.

Which model, ND? I have a Black Armor 220, and its firmware is up to date, but no joy.
And Dreamhost, thanks for *nothing*. One of the least important PHP pages on my site is broken (it's one I use, direct URL only), and last time something like this happened, they'd changed their PHP configuration (disabled allow_url_fopen) without saying anything--this one, I'm going back and forth trying to work out why suddenly it's spitting up tons of "[Thu Aug 02 09:09:12 2012] [error] [client 69.163.231.184] access to /cross_sites.php failed for 69.163.231.184, reason: Client exceeded concurrent connection limit of 30, referer: christian bale, all hands" errors on the 2nd of August, when it hadn't been on the 1st, and I hadn't updated code since June.
No changes, they assure me!
In the middle of this discussion, I notice "This is just a note to let you know that we have moved your account to a new server!"
Seriously, tech support? I know it's not your job to debug my code, but when I ask what sort of things might have changed, SERVERS totally count. So at least I have a direction to look in, anyway.

That's the model that I have. I'll double check but I'm pretty sure it's been working with Time Machine on a couple of laptops with no worries.

- Firmware: 2000.1231
- OS X 10.7.4 Build 11E2617
Error: Time Machine can't access the backup disk/ The operation couldn't be completed (OSStatus error 2.)
So, no cigar. And Seagate says "Call me!" which I just about have no energy to do at the same moment as time.
