I'm having the same problem on my mid-2009 MBP. I can assure you that I'm not hibernating. On every boot into windows, the machine hangs at a black screen for about 30 seconds before the initial "starting windows" screen. Just like the video. Anybody figure this out? It's really...

Sorry for another, but I like this one too. Where'd you get the background? Thanks, BoB

Like that pic, where'd you get it? Thanks, BoB

*bump* Anybody?

Hello all, I'm just trying to get one of these monitors from a reputable source in the US. Anyone have a lead on a place with them in stock? Thanks, BoB

Hey all, I'm looking at the 26" due to my wife's bad vision. She'd like to run native res so the fonts don't look funky. I don't do graphics work, but see the advantage of wide gamut in the long run. In the short run, do people find the sRGB setting works well? Thanks, BoB P.S. I'm...

Hey all, Getting a new monitor for our home office. There's enough room for a 30" LCD. My wife's laptop is running 1024x768 and she doesn't have the best vision. It would be nice to have 1024x768 scaled exactly 2x to 2048x1536 and have black bars all around. Do any monitors allow this...

What software/shell is that? Sweetastic. Thanks, BoB ETA: I'm an idiot. http://www.streetdeck.com

Hey guys, I love your reviews, but I'm a software developer. I'd love it if I could see comparisons on CPUs when compiling code. Pick your favorite open source project...Mozilla...Linux kernel...whatever. Just something that takes more than a minute or two should show the differences...

On other machines I've used the one from: http://www.whitneyfamily.org/Hacks/?item=Defrag and been really happy with it. Not only does it defrag, but it packs. It uses the OS native routines to move blocks around, so it should be pretty safe. Plus, I indirectly know the guy who wrote it...

Reviving this thread. Just curious if defragging a hardware RAID5 array has any benefit. The controller already scatters your blocks. Does anybody know if it really helps? Thanks, BoB

That's what I ended up doing (I did 8 rounds as it called that "high" security). Thanks all! BoB
