NoteBook

When my notebook is plugged in: 1. My wireless signal and speed is increased noticably 2. The computer is slower. I try to convert a movie to another format and when its plugged in, it will take 15 minutes to convert a single tv episode, however when I unplug it it will only take 3 minutes. I am using iSquint to convert movies. Does anyone else find this to be true?

I do understand the need for keys to do double duty on the smaller notebook keyboards This would make sense to me but unfortunatly it is not how it works.

Hi :) First of all, I'd just like to say I didnt think this thread would fit in the 'switchers' section - as the description stated "A great place to find out how to do something on the Mac that you did in windows"... and I haven't exactly switched just yet... only contemplating... I just got a new laptop which came bundled with Vista... and after seeing Mac OS X Tiger...

minutes. At that point the entire thing freezes. The cursor will not move, I can not use keyboard commands, and if I close the notebook the screen stays illuminated instead of sleeping. ...

I only know how it's handled with Cablecom, one of the Swiss cable providers. They restrict the amount of devices that can connect, i.e. how many devices can get an IP from their servers. If that limit is "1" or "2", that would explain your situation, maybe. His laptop got an address, then your AirPort router. Now if you connect through AirPort, you get an IP from _that_, not...

Multitouch could also be applied to the trackpads on notebook range. That would be nice. ...
