i don't wear glasses. mrs fiendish does, but a) she's away in england and b) she doesn't have such a thing anyway. nor, it seems, do any of my speccy chums.
and, oddly, i don't tend to keep the ephemera that falls out of xmas crackers, thinking: "gosh, one day this 50p piece of crap will come in very useful when i need to put £38 worth of memory into £1200 worth of computer."

(I have been known to keep the tiny screwdriver sets you get in christmas crackers, so I have one for my glasses case, one in my main clarinet case, one in the spare clarinet case, etc etc etc)

Clockmakers? Scale modellers?

But no glasses I've ever had have had Philips screws. But my regular (they're called "pozidrive"¿?) mini screwdriver was originally bought for this purpose, yes.

Ed - are you suggesting that Sony Vaio isn't a decent laptop? Or that Samsung is better? (genuinely curious as I've considered getting one)
― Bob Six (bobbysix), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 16:34 (eighteen years ago) link
Samsungs seem to be well built, well specced and good value. Lenovo's are known for bombproof reliability and build. Best tiny sub-notebook is a fujitsu-siemens.

every time it wakes up from sleep, it wants to configure a bluetooth keyboard. also, every time it wakes up, the audio balance is set to Left 100%.

this has happened to me for years, i think it's something to do with my cheapo Edirol audio interface, but it's incredibly annoying and i'm amazed it's gone on for so long with no fix.

Go into System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Bluetooth tab. Uncheck "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer"
