9 LEE: How sorry was your wife by the way during that week? Not sorry enough ... then again, she bought it for me so I think I'll keep her

My wife left my just over a year old BS3 on the back patio the other night. Needless to say, it rained... a lot!!!. Probably got an inch of rain. Ohhh Nooo!!! I turned it upside down and couple drops came out of the aerial hole. Wiped it off. Wiped my tears. I let it dry out for a week. Crossed my fingers, turned it on... YES!!! it works!!! Now after

gorissek: That's what worries me more and more lately, too. I just hope they'll at least stay as they are and not become another Microsoft ( or something similarly annoying, unfriendly and breakable ). I would say their software is just as unfriendly (to the rest of the world) as MS. Ok, it works a lot better, doesn't crash as much and is

PL212: Do you mean the one on Oak Street? Yes.

I drove by the downtown Chicago B&O store, and it has a large sign in the window indicating that they've lost their lease, and a smaller sign in the door saying "everything is on sale". I did not stop in to see if there are any good deals, but somebody here might like to. Stan

I know that most large companies in the US will not even look at a design or invention that is sent to them without them contracting for the work. They do this to guard against an external designer/inventor claiming work is copied when, in fact, it is often true that great minds think alike. Stan

I haven't listened to B&O wireless so I cannot say for certain. I would truly hope B&O can do a better job than a $150 Apple device. The DAC in the AE is the weak link (what do you expect for $150?). If you want better sound: a) buy a quality DAC and connect the optical out of the AE to the DAC and DAC to AUX (I think the user "Soundproof"

Also remember that the speaker is toward the bottom of the unit so keep that area clear from clutter. Stan

Firstly, Repair Permissions actually does nothing of any use unless you have a highly-specific permissions related issue - which are very uncommon and in any case better resolved in command line. As regards your issue, I'd reconsider your plan to keep copying back your previous setup, which is probably re-introducing the issue each time. I know

britops: Tried AppleCare ? or Apple Genius bar ? My experience with the "Genius" bar is that the so called geniuses tend to be mostly geniuses in their own mind. I may give AppleCare a whirl, but haven't ever had much luck with other company's tech support. I will try other's suggestions... thanks for the help. Stan
