Time out to kvetch 
| | One of the few things I hate about OS X is dialing from the road — or, right now, from the airport (at the moment, LAX). |
| | I have about 100 local dial-up settings for all over the world that are still sitting on OS 9, and were not converted for OS X. While I sort of understand the new system, it's far less friendly than the old Remote Access, which let you duplicate one set of settngs and change it slightly to work as a new set of settings where only one parameter has changed. Maybe that's here in OS X, but if it is I can't find it. |
| | Anyway, its an unbelievably warm and beautiful day here in L.A. You can see all the mountains, the Channel Islands, and beyond. I hope North Carolina will be half as nice. |
| | [Later...] One more beef: battery life. In Classic MacOS, I could nurse one battery from coast to coast. In OS X, I'm good for maybe an hour. And the grace period between the low battery warning and shut-down is a matter of seconds. Of course, it may also be a matter of settings I don't know yet. Advice is welcome. I'll be on the road for most of the next month. Thanks. |
Later
| | I'm leaving shortly for North Carolina. Three planes, three thousand miles. Gonna see my Mom and a couple old friends. Buzz and I are also gonna see Duke kick St. Johns' ass on Sunday. Back Tuesday. |
New tricks for an old rat
| | A kind reader has found hope that my development as a geezer might be arrested. |
