Glad to know I’m not alone. Slight comfort. I almost bought a new AP thinking that had to be the problem. Of course, this has only happened since the OS update. I never had a problem prior to that. None of the subsequent updates have helped, either. Getting rid of the airport status in the menu bar has only helped in that I don’t constantly see black bars fade to completely ghosted every 30 seconds. I’m hoping that this issue is resolved soon. It’s beyond maddening.

I’m also having the problem. Argh!

Guess what guys. If I can’t figure out how to set the clock by bed time tonight. Back it goes!!

Dear Ms. Garcia: Way too late. You didn’t make your promised SLA. I wound up calling in. The clock is set. But, it didn’t work for several hours as I reset the clock over and over again. It just wouldn’t save. It was as if there was a magic button I was missing. When I called in and powered it up talking to the phone rep, magic: the clock was set. I hope whatever gremlin was there has left for other places. But, who knows. fjohn

p.s., Emailing me the reproduced instruction page is really irritating. Did you think I didn’t read it? Or couldn’t find page 17! The phone rep was equally condescending. Argh!

McBookaire: Stupidity is a good way to leave yourself without power.

Friday, June 27, 2008

Last night, didn’t notice the plug was out and McBa was sitting in hibernate. Today noticed it. Battery is under a quarter. Wonder what happens when it goes flat? Any way, cant take it with me today to doc office because it’s so low. Maybe that is a design problem. It should shutdown after hibernate for say an hour?

McBookAir: McBa gets a real field trial

Thursday, June 19, 2008

Up to now, McBa has always been close to LUGGABLE. For passwords, for files, for the ‘chuck it moments’. Now we are going to work it away from LUGGABLE, More than a day away. Many mies away. Here’s a real field trial. We’ll see.

LUGGABLE BSOD — no outlook

Monday, June 16, 2008

It failed so fast. I saw the BSOD, but couldn’t see the codes. Rebooted. Lost 10 minutes on my story. Argh!


McBookaire: Last night’s work lost

Thursday, June 12, 2008

Argh!

All the work on chapter 63 was lost.

I don’t know if it was McBa’s fault or operator error.

I have to print everything I do on this project before I leave a file. Luggable has screwed me once very badly on this project loosing three wee hours of the morning prose. Now McBa screwed me out of an hour of not so beautiful prose.

Argh! Argh!

Maybe I should use a typewriter? This is a productivity enhancement?

Argh! Argh! Argh!

McBookaire: McBa saves my chapter? Oh yeah!

Thursday, June 12, 2008

Argh!

Sent a chapter of the novel over to McBa. Worked fine. Did some work no it saved it. And this morning McBa says something to the effect that “you might be surprised at the results”.

Aghhh!

Surprised is NOT the word I’d use.

McBookaire: It’s BACKSPACE; not DELETE

Sunday, June 8, 2008

Now maybe it’s picky. And maybe I’m just dense. But the McBa’s keyboard is mislabeled one key.

It’s <backspace>; not <delete>!!!

It reallly throws me off.

Maybe there’s a way to redefine it? Maybe I just don’t understand. Maybe it’s trivial to you.

It’s annoying to me!

# # # # #

Update: Yes, I figured out that Fn + Delete is ‘forward delete’. Thanks, Google. Argh!
