I'd like to get a new 17" MBP and I'm wondering what the verdict is on SSD's... are third-party drives still a better option than the ones that come stock from Apple? If so, which brand/model is best? Also, what's the status with TRIM support and garbage collection in all this? Does Apple's current OS/hardware have either of these yet? If not, will Lion have TRIM support?
I have 4 SSD's.
A 256 GB OWC, in a 2007 BMB.A 64GB OWC in a 2008 BMB, both are mission critical, and I run my business with them.
I also have 2- 1.6 GHZ 4/64 11" refurb MBA's, that I am in the process of installing 360GB OWC Aura's in each.(one more to buy)
All OWC SSD's have performed as advertised, and have been problem free.
I have spoken with Hellhammer, and he has advised against the hack to enable TRIM on each, I
believe Apple supports garbage collection, on their own drives,but not others, but Lion will
support Trim, so I am waiting for Lion before I activate the MBA's
I have been very happy with all RAM, and SSD's purchased from OWC.:cool:

I Have font doctor on my laptop macbook pro 17" 2.93 ghz 2duo latest os with updates.
I have been having problems with font doctor 7.7
I have at least 4 gigs of fonts on a drive.
Problem #1: Font doctor does not complete its task when I run the whole folder. Problem # 2 if I run font doctor on individual small folders within my font folder some font folders get complete repairs some folders do not ( lags on last task and does not complete).
Problem#3 does not complete task on organizing fonts if i try
Does anyone know of a good alternative to font repair and organization latest software?
I have to say, I've never experienced an issue with FontDoctor itself, it has come across problem fonts that it couldn't fix, but the app itself I've always found to be utterly bulletproof, and that's with 12GB of fonts.
Sounds more like the issue is with specific corrupt fonts rather than any inherent issue with the software.
Have you tried completely uninstalling and then reinstalling FontDoctor? That's always my first port of call when I hit a software problem of any kind.
Failing that, it might be worth trying a dedicated font manager like FontAgent Pro, FontExplorer X Pro or Suitcase Fusion. I used Suitcase for years and I found it to be solid (though some found it to be anything but), but I now use FontExplorer X Pro, all have the ability to detect and in some instances repair fonts on the fly, whilst also isolating problem fonts.
That might be the best way to approach it, try one manager, load all your fonts into it and organise them, any corrupt ones will be flagged when loading, and then isolate those fonts into specific folders that you can then run through FontDoctor separately (without the overhead of 4GB worth of fonts weighing FontDoctor down) and see how you go with that.
It really might be worth your time converting all your fonts into .otf formats using FontXChange though, I have and it's so much easier managing them rather than f'in' about with the archaic formats of old. Just a thought. ;)

I bet sales of the whitebook have tanked since October. Only reason to buy a whitebook was because you could not afford a macbook pro. The air is even better than 13" MBP in everything but raw cpu power, and lack of some ports.

Yep, I'm with you on that. It already bugs me that my Prius has a black box for accidents and a GPS built in (for the nav system.) Why do we *trust* this government to not ask companies to turn that information over (just like they asked for our phone records) and for these corporations getting billions in tax incentives to eagerly comply? Now if you carry a GPS, government will be able to know where you are at any moment. I'm not buying it unless Apple includes a pledge with the product that they will fight to protect my legal rights if any government agency asks for these records without probable cause.
Most (if not all) new cell phones in America have built in GPS as a result of an FCC mandate for Enhanced 9-1-1 capability in mobile devices. Apple may simply be taking this required expense and turning it into a way to get more value in their device by linking it with a built in camera/iPhoto/GoogleMaps. This certainly seems like one of those "why didn't anyone else do that?" sort of (in retrospect) obvious moves that Apple is great at.
But the fact remains, most new cell phones in the U.S. at least already have GPS built in so the location of the phone can be tracked by emergency responders. It's hardly something new being developed by Apple that will make the iPhone any more subject to governmental data-mining abuse than any other mobile phone.

im thinking of queueing up on thursday too. What time does it open? I have never queued for something on launch day before. Is it likely to be a HUGE queue? Will they sell out of iphones in hours? Can I reserve before hand?
Thanks in advance for help.
Joe
p.s. Also do you know if orange stores will be selling the iphone on pay as you go and have them in stock from thursday? Also if I was to buy one from vodafone on pay as you go(I know a guy in the shop), would it work on orange?
I'm not sure whether to go touchwood solihull. I haven't reserved but was hoping to get a 16gb white iphone 4....what are my chances?

Many of them will have inhouse teams to develop their bits and pieces.
Considering lead and production times, I would have also thought that large-scale holiday-specific artwork production would need to be signed off in June-August in order to accommodate any special repro processes and finishing... and then getting product to point of sale.
So, if this idea appeals to you, try aiming for next year and put together a lo-res sample sheet to try some cold calls with... but don't get your hopes up, there could be other more productive and lucrative ways to further your career.
Hi. Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I too was thinking a lot of that type of work is probably done in-house. I suppose I could just make it a side hobby; something to help keep my vector skills sharp and maybe it will even yield some possible portfolio pieces? Thanks again:)
Sincerely,
Phil

iWork updates are always welcome in my book, but I'm not sure "Lasso" will ever be as successful as Pages or Keynote. With programs like Pages or Keynote, you don't need guaranteed interoperability, but with Excel it's different. With Excel, you are less likely to distribute it in printed form or orally in a presentation, rather you would distribute it electronically. Plus, when it comes to numbers, there is no room for error.
Excel truly is the standard in this case (actually doing a good job), and it will be very hard to convince users to switch.
.
Excel is one of the few programmes from Microsoft that I actually like even if it is a bit bloated. It does numbers and it does them well. I am forced to do page layout in word during the day for a large client and I word have to say that it is the worst format to edit.

Hi, I just noticed this thread and if you happen to be interested in a custom firmware psp with a bunch of extras I can give you a link to pictures and more info. I'm not going to list details because chances are that your not interested.
Cybergypsy has an opened 8GB iPhone but she doesn't want an iPod Touch, she will trade even for a 4GB iPhone. So if you can a hold of one of them, that'll work out for both of you.
I want to get rid of my touch so I can get a iPhone, thus the trade. Thanks for the offer, but I do not need nor want a PSP.

hmmm, I'm not sure, I've had Apache server running on various machines for over 2 years now and no hacking has taken place, but I'm not sure, obviously you're opening your machine somewhat. I run the OS X firewall and a hardware firewall on my router, probably more peace of mind than actual protection, but it's worked out fine so far

For example: I wanna get artworks from buy.com instead of amazon.com as others programs do...

Can DVD Jon's DRM be so similar to Apple's that when iTunes updates and goes looking for Firplay protected content, it finds content protected by DVD Jon's DRM and updates that too?
All I'm saying is, if you like to buy music from the iTunes Music Store, it's not a good idea to buy a non-licensed player [e.g. iPod] whilst relying on a hack. If Apple decide you need iTunes 7.2 to use the Music Store then you're stuck waiting for DVD Jon to work some more. Fine if you like waiting a few years to unlock your music, but then why not just buy the CD if you're going to wait that long?
I hate DRM by the way, but personally I think if you're going to this much trouble you might as well buy the music from another online store or just buy and rip the CD...

Should be? As in Apple is going to put it on there, or said they were going to, but haven't yet. OR Should be, as in YOU think that is what Apple should do?

i think it should be. they're always touting podcasting. why not post their keynote as a podcast? it would be much better than having to sit through a streaming quicktime video.
