Kid Laptop Saga continues
March-25, 2012 by: Eric Wolf
From: Eric Wolf ------------------------------------------------------ Anybody have a good MacBook for sale or loan? My daughter, Heidi, is trying to finish her senior project which involves some video editing. Her Dell laptop is literally unhinged. The USB ports have failed. She's trying to have me call people on Craigslist about MacBooks. I told her to have her mother buy her a new MacBook from Mac Authority. Barring that, does anyone have a MacBook that runs iMovie well enough to do some basic video editing that she can either borrow or buy? She only needs it until the middle of April. -Eric -=--=---=----=----=---=--=-=--=---=----=---=--=-=- Eric B. Wolf 720-334-7734
OT: Local Apple service experience and laptop recommendation
December-02, 2011 by: Eric Wolf
From: Eric Wolf ------------------------------------------------------ My daughter has, once again, done in her Dell laptop. She's 1/2 through her senior year of high school, so I either need to help her get something for college or just buy something cheap to get her through the year. Like all kids nowadays, and especially the artsy types, she's entranced by All-Things-Apple. I would be happy to make the investment in a MacBook for her if I knew that she could walk into an Apple Store and just get it fixed. She's a bit accident-prone and has broken/lost/thrown across playgrounds more electronic gadgets than I can count. Extended-warranties are a money-losing proposition for anyone selling to her - if she actually took action on the broken device before it expired. Apple Stores are hip enough that I figure she just might take her broken stuff in if she had access. Alas, Chattanooga lacks an Apple Store. Are there any Apple repair shops in Chattanooga that come close to the Apple Store level of service? As an alternative, NewEgg.com has a refurb Lenova ThinkPad T60 for $225 that should be adequate to get her through the year. Chances are the ThinkPad my be tough enough to become her backup computer through college (when she breaks her Mac badly enough). Does anyone (Aaron) local to 'Nooga have a comparable deal? Lastly, anyone have experience with kingoflaptops.com? Their prices are just a little too good to be true and there are ZERO Google-able reviews of the company. Those two things together make me wonder. No info at the BBB. I just Googled their listed address... One is a home for sale and the other is an apartment in a complex: http://www.realestatesrichmond.com/property

routing around cost of broadcast radio with linux
March-24, 2011 by: Rod-Lists
From: Rod-Lists ------------------------------------------------------ I know of couple groups trying to get a spot on the radio dial.=20 Suffice to say the way the biz is currently run that almost next to impossi= ble due cost and the fact that=C2=A0community groups are never told when a = station is up for sale. (see WAWL or WDYN).=20 My idea is to use wifi hot spots and phone apps as access points. And build the station using rivendell (linux). My question is do y'all think there is a market for entertaiment plus good = "local news" and information on the net?
