I have this new iMac. It has one of the new short 'Chiclet' boards, with a Magic Mouse. Both are nice enough, but I really would like to use my Matias Tactilepro keyboard. Via USB, this works absolutely fine. However, I'd like to use the Chiclet board with my iG5. How do I do that? I thought they were Bluetooth ... 9 Jul 2010 11:40

Satnav and multitasking
How do the Satnavs work in iOS4 with multitasking? If you forget and leave one running in the background, does it quickly drain the battery to nothing, or dies it do something clever to avoid this? -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm ... 11 Jul 2010 07:13

The new iMac tells me it ca... 12 Jul 2010 00:54
