| Most Recent Posts august 26- a Testamonial!Posted 26-Aug-08 12:16:29 BST I got this email yesterday from a customer. Thank You so much! Dear niko521mac, Wow!!! I have not worked with a mac since middle school on a Apple IIc. I loved the reliablity ratings of a mac and took the plunge. I hedged my bets by getting one installed with Windows software so I could at least use it if worse came to worse. The computer I got from you has worked with NO SETUP on my end at all!!! I just turned it on and everything was ready to go. You do an excellent job with you products and I can't wait to order a Macbook Pro from you soon. - v August 2008! Thank You all- POWER SELLER!Posted 06-Aug-08 21:07:45 BST Thanks to EVERYONE who has bought a computer from me. Thats right.. I mean YOU! Thanks to you.. I am a Power Seller on ebay. If your reading this and contemplating buying a computer from me...my hard work has paid off: my Communication scores are through the roof, as are my "Items as described". I wish there was a catagory for Better Than Expected, because id get high scores in that. Not that its my doing, as Apple makes it so much easier on me with their great product. Thank You once again everyone. Im a power seller now thanks to YOU ALL!

Welcome 10.5.4!Posted 01-Jul-08 01:50:41 BST Inside the OS X 10.5.4 update The most significant thing about what’s changed in OS X 10.5.4 may be what hasn’t changed with Monday’s release of the OS X update. The ARDAgent security hole—discovered just a few weeks ago—remains unplugged. This actually isn’t all that surprising—if the chatter around the Internet is to be believed, Apple has been working on the 10.5.4 update for quite a while, predating the discovery of the ARDAgent issue. System updates are complex things with many inter-related parts, and adding in a fix for the ARDAgent issue would have required more testing, and perhaps delayed the release of 10.5.4. So what will happen with the ARDAGent hole? Only Apple knows, of course, but I think we’ll see a standalone security update released in the near future to address that issue (as well as any other security issues that haven’t been patched with the 10.5.4 release). As for new things introduced in OS X 10.5.4, I dug around a bit in the bom files, as I did with May’s 10.5.3 release. This latest update is much smaller than 10.5.3, and I didn’t find anything nearly as interesting as I did last month, other than the non-fix for ARDAgent. There are a slew of extension updates, though it’s tough to figure out exactly what changes those may entail. There were a number of updates to PDF-related utilities, including the Mail PDF, Save as PDF-X, and Save PDF to Web Receipts Folder workflows, as well as changes to many PDF-related Automator actions. Non-English language files in many programs were updated, and there was some sort of change to Mail’s preferences, though I couldn’t see any obvious change when compared with Mail on a 10.5.3 machine. iChat received updates to the balloons, boxes, and compact styles, as well as some (also not obvious) changes in its preferences. The Apple-provided dictionary in Dictionary was also updated, adding (at a minimum) the definition of MobileMe, Apple’s soon-to-launch online service: An Internet service from Apple Inc. for Macintosh computers, iPhone, iPod touch, and PCs. A MobileMe subscription provides push email, push contacts, and push calendar to keep your data automatically up-to-date on all your devices. Given the size of the updated file, I expect there are more new definitions, but MobileMe was the only one I could think to check. There are also changes on the Unix side of OS X. Some Perl and Ruby related bits were updated, as were snmp-related Unix programs, and various other Unix components, such as the pasteboard server. I’ve been running 10.5.4 on two machines now for a few hours, and haven’t experienced any issues—though as with any update, I strongly recommend having a current backup before proceeding.

June 12th 2008 - A recommendation from CarolPosted 12-Jun-08 12:46:54 BST I feel this recommendation is special, because I dropped the ball on this one a few times.

Dear Mr. Houllis:
Customer Satisfaction. Ever since E-Bay began I have been purchasing various items, some were as described, others were extremely disappointing. Recently, I purchased an IMAC from you, which in itself was very satisfactory. However, never have I experienced such incredible after-sales customer service that you have provided. Without a doubt the best I have experienced from any purchase. Thank-you. You will go a long way in business, and you deserve it. Thank you again for your wonderful support. Sincerely,
Lord Alan Davis. |
