Hi Chris,
Congrats on the MacBook.
It seems like you were looking for suggestions for presentation
software.
What did you end up using?
I'm interested, because I'm starting a new job, and may be doing
presentations using the Mac.
Please keep me posted on how well you do with these.
Thanks.

Hi,
I just talked to an AppleCare guy who told me to power cycle the
computer. When it came back up, there was no mention of Blue Tooth
so I went ahead with other tasks and everything seems good except
that I've no idea whether the BT got updated or not. I suppose I
couldlook in the system settings under BT but I really don't want
to waste any time today as I need to prepare for two conferences
next week and really don't feel like fuc*ing around with things
that may cause me additional hassle.
Happy Hacking,

Hey, Chris,
When I first got my mini at the end of August which was running
Leopard back then, I did updates and after restarting got the
bluetooth install dialog as you have. So I chose to continue and
kept checking it periodically through the night but it never
seemed to change or do anything. So the next morning I held the
power button and shut down which they had advised against, but it
was obvious that nothing was happening. When the computer
rebooted, that setup dialog was still there and I had to put in my
password, but when I did and then tried to proceed through the
rest of the dialog, I lost speech altogether. I then packed up
the mini and went to the store which, fortunately for me, is just
a few steps down the block. There they were very nice and took
care of the problem for me. I'm not sure had I persisted if I
could have solved the problem on my own, but at the time I was
brand new to the Mac and didn't want to endure any more
frustration and uncertainty about what was going on.

Hi,
I got a brandy new MacBook Pro 13 at our local Apple store. It's
got 4 gb of RAM and is smoking fast. I needed one with a multi-
touch trackpad for my presentation at ACB in Baltimore next
week. So, I'm bragging as this little guy is really hot and the
coolest computer I've ever owned.
After doing the typical installation stuff, though, I got the
software update dialogue and said "yes" to doing all of it. The
general software updated quickly but then came an Update Blue
Tooth dialogue and I said to continue to do the install. The
dialogue says that it will take a long time but I think it's been
there for an hour or longer and nothing has changed. What have
other people experienced with this process, does it take a really
huge amount of time?
Happy Happy,
