Thanks! I returned it for a refund so I'm back to square one. Maybe I should consider a photo. I don't want another dead batery from something that's been sitting on the shelf for …

This reminds me of an old MacOS Classic feature called "RAM Disk."

No doubt hard drives will be replaced with solid state soon, except perhaps for huge servers. Problem is now they just aren't big enough and it is too expensive, but that is alway…

RAM disk was amazing. Everything was so damn fast.

My VAX OpenVMS cluster (7 VAX nodes at the time) use to boot its system from a RAM disk at work. As we started adding more and more Alphas into the cluster, the RAM disk just wasn'…

Please make this card mac compatible. If it is I want one for X-mas

It would be great for a dedicated swap volume. 8GB of super fast Swap on top of 8 GB of active memory, should be able to handle what you're working on at a given time.

RAM is still very expensive compared to HD space (per GB). I can see someone creating a computer that uses RAM instead of a HD for primary functions, but as long as OSes keep bloa…

i'm thinking the intel laptops, probably not the first rev, but certainly by the 3rd will have 20 - 40gb flash HDs... nanostyle. i don't know about this ramdrive though. ram is c…

Sigh, I can remember when I could boot off a RAM disk. I had to pare down the system a bit, but did it ever fly. Flash is making strides, but it can never replace our current magn…

budster, that was a lot simpler than I thought it would be. Installing the full version of MS Office "seemed to" require what Buck did-trash the trial and install clean from the C…

The trial version of MS Office is separate from the real version, and must be trashed first. The trial of iWork is like shareware, needing only a key to unlock. There's nothing unu…

When I bought iWork, I just used the key on the disc to activate the license already on my computer and ran the updater. Worked great. That's just how it worked out for me. Offic…

I have a pages question: I like to view the documents with the layout view. Is there a way to customize the startup to always show the layout view?

I'm hoping it fixes the "external drive" bug... If you store your music on an external drive, and plug a shuffle in when the external drive is not connected, it erases everything …

Some music from itunes would not play on the shuffle , caused it to lock up. I think this has fixed it

I hope the popping problem was fixed. Whenever I play a long AAC Bookmarkable file it will start popping and have 10+ second delays in pausing or changing volume. Very annoying.
