I have continued to have stability problems on Safari 5 for Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) at work, and diligently reported the problems to Apple, and looked for and found two problems with my configuration and fixed them both. Safari on Snow Leopard continues to crash regularly (though it is very stable on my […]
On the way to work via the gas station Monday morning, I ran out of gas. I knew I was low, but did not think I was that low. The gas engine/generator in my 2006 Prius stopped about 1.4 miles from the planned gas station… I was still rolling, in traffic… I cut the air-conditioner, […]
A couple of weeks ago I upgraded Safari on my Macs at home and work to Safari 5; and noticed a sharp decline in stability despite being on a mix of Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6. Well, I am a bit embarrassed to admit that after many days of ranting, it appears that the […]

Mine has a defect with the vibrate only mode switch that makes it vibrate randomly when the switch is set to vibrate only (silent ring). Aside from that, both work well […]
Is anyone else noticing a dramatic increase in web browser crashes since upgrading to Safari 5? I am on Version 5.0 (6533.16) with Mac OS X 10.6.3 at work – and even with flash blocked, and the extensions turned off my Safari crashes several times an hour. Update: I upgraded to Max OS 10.6.4 and […]
A few years ago we upgraded our wired network at home to do Gigabit Ethernet throughout the house, an upgrade I have loved since the day we did it. We used a Netgear ProSafe 16 Port Gigabit Switch (GS116 v1) as the main switch in our wiring closet, and D-Link “Green” DGS-2205 and DGS-2208 gigabit […]
