Did anyone else update their Mac and now Chrome is barely functional? It takes forever to open and keeps giving spinning beachball. If this is some Apple trick to make me use Safari, I don't appreciate it. If it's just a compatibility issue, when will Google fix it? Ugh.

Mine works, but slowly. And if one tab is loading, the other tabs grind to a halt. I am assuming that it's tied to the upgrade.

Thrive to spite them

I don't know specifics but I do know there are some bugs in the new update. When I was waiting at Geek Squad to get myour computer looked at there were two Mac ilusers there trying to figure out some problems.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That is my Chrome--I try and keep as few tabs open as possible. Classic Opera is light and fast but not compatible with everything.

When I fire up Safari, the whole system grinds to a near halt.

I'm one below Yosemite.

I had no problems before Yosemite, but as soon as I upgraded, endless waits. I've given up and am in Safari at the moment, but kind of irked about it.

Someone on a local Facebook list has a barely used 32 GB Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 for sale for $175. I'm tempted. Anyone have any opinions on the Note? I know there will be some big tablet sales around Thanksgiving.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

That seems a lot for a tablet at least two generations old.

We have one at work that we use for testing, and it does okay. The two major drawbacks in my opinion are that it doesn't accept memory cards and it uses a proprietary connector for power and data.

Note? I'd buy it. I love mine, and aren't even that jealous of other people.

STYLUS.

The specs say it accepts microSD and has a USB 2 port. What am I missing?

eta: Oh, well. I putzed around too long and someone else got it.

It seems what we have at work is a Galaxy Tab 10.1 [link] rather than a Galaxy Note 10.1 [link]

Sorry for mixing them up.
