Has anyone heard of problems with Mac laptop batteries? I have heard about the Sony ones on PCs and the recall with some Mac batteries a couple of years ago but nothing recently. Nothing on the Apple website, as far as I can see.
Got my new HTs new laptop talking to a USB printer, eventually. (20 minutes worth of glitches and problem solving)
Interesting case. A colleague wanted to connect a clamshell to a projector. Solved. Blue clamshell, video out, red, yellow and white sockets on the projector, and I found an old lead. Why you ask? Because the CD she wanted to show her class was for OS 9, which the new laptops do not have installed.
I have mentioned it before, but I think we have to move from AppleWorks to Office in Primary Schools as AppleWorks only runs under “Rosetta” in the new intel Macs, and is not even packaged. Meanwhile I have to go and revise for my AppleWorks course I am taking on Tuesday!
