Hopefully, it will be a second generation MacBook ( with most of the early troubles fixed )


I hadn't thought of that AB.  When will the second generation MacBook be introduced?  January O7?  My brother doesn't plan on buying until Chistmas.

If I could tell you that, I'd be richer than I am! But they do seem to offer new models about every 12-15 months...how long has the current crop been around?
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF COUNTRIES
Those that use metric = #1 Measurement system
And the United States = The Banana system

A correction...

QUOTE
If VPN is in use and the Mac is put to sleep and later awakened, the icon will stilll indicate a secure connection when in actuality it is an open connection.


This bug has apparently been fixed in the latest version of Tunnelblick; I don't know which version it is because the application doesn't provide the info.  I could have sworn that I tested the new version for the bug, but I must have been mistaken.

Now either the connection is "always-on" or the application automatically reconnects when the Mac is awakened... I really cannot tell which it is because it happens too fast. But when I check the IP address it belongs to Witopia.

Whatever... it's nice to have it fixed.
