Help: Need Mac OSX
by Brian Munyao Longwe 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

Hi, Does anyone have the downloaded version of Mac OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.x? I have purchased (and paid for) it online via the Apple Store - but the 4.7Gig download across my Zuku Wimax link is taking forever (the link is definitely *not* the 1MBps that I'm paying for). If someone has this I am willing to come to you and get a copy. Best regards, Brian

Re: [Skunkworks] 64GB Microsoft Surface Pro will only have 23GB usable space...eh?

Sorry for asking what may seem like a silly question - but if that is the case with the Windows tablet.... Why on earth would I want such a feature on a tablet?

> Android also has a lot of bloatware/crapware which I think is worse than MS > because you can't uninstall it (without rooting your phone). Same with MS. The recovery image is already crapware infested so re-installing from it is kind of hitting factory reset on iPad. It goes back to the state you got it from vendor. You can re-install from windows bought directly from MS, but that mean you are another 100 dollars worse. Actually even with android, you have an option. Buy a nexus brand. So back to the original question, what's up with disk usage?
