For those of you using a MacBook Pro and a second monitor attached keep this in mind. There is a known bug that when you close the lid of the MacBook Pro it forgets about the monitor on your computer. Now this only effects people using an external keyboard and mouse with the lid closed while using the external monitor. When you open the lid back up it will not light up again until you go to the monitors control panel on the external monitor and tell it to look for other monitors (detect displays). At that point the internal monitor will light up and you will be able to use it again. This happens under 10.5.2 according to Apple, but I have seen it under 10.5.1 also 9:25:29 PM    comment []

Apples new MacBook Air seems to be doing well with sales however shipments to resellers of accessorary items like the USB SuperDrive and the Ethernet adapters is slow. Here hoping we can get one of the PMUG members who have one to write a review of being an early adapter. Also the developer tool kit for writing iPhone applications is due out by the end of March so we should be seeing a lot of new things coming for that device in the June time frame when Firmware 2.0 is issued. 9:20:13 PM    comment []
