I can watch a movie and darn if that movie will stop playing after 45 minutes and nothing in this world will get that DVD to finish the movie until the next day.<br /><br />I simply refuse to buy a DVD recorder/player. I now watch my movies on my laptop.<br /><br />Sorry you're having issues with your Mac and DVD player.Druhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978384022143035332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125103167537250391.post-89043902473169451352010-09-09T12:54:59.662-04:002010-09-09T12:54:59.662-04:00Ye gods! Your machines seem to have it in for the ...Ye gods! Your machines seem to have it in for the both of you. My condolences. My wireless Logitech mouse got sick last week. I've had problems with it from nearly the first day I got it -- the trap door that covered the batteries NEVER worked right. It simply would NOT close. So ... Scotch tape to the rescue. But after nearly 3 years, the wheel to scroll (mostly) stopped working & highlighting something and trying to move it to another place worked only part of the time or dropped what I was moving -- usually half-way -- and that became a major pain-in-the-posterior. So, since there was a good deal on a wireless mouse at the local Office Depot, I went shopping. Only ... the best deal mouse was so tiny, it nearly disappeared in my hand! The new mouse cost $12 dollars more, but works astoundingly well. I only hope your new 'toys' work so well. (P.S. This is the time to buy DVD players, at least around here. Several stores are running very good specials on them. Hope that's so where you are, too!)Laurienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125103167537250391.post-32600545068067219352010-09-09T11:20:45.971-04:002010-09-09T11:20:45.971-04:00RE: imac

Apple replaced it. I wanted a new one as my intuition told me it will go again. Well it did and it died just after the 3 year extra warranty I bought. They refused to fix it.<br /><br />I love macs...I almost...almost was never going to buy a mac again. But I did.<br /><br />Sorry you are having troubles.<br />Happy writing!<br /><br />Carolanne Nadeau, Librarian and cozy mystery lover.Carolannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524555982646643750noreply@blogger.com
