Yep, so the 11″ MBA I sold on eBay and the iMac I’ll be selling on eBay this/next week.

I have a NAS which I use here at my parents house which streams a load of media to different computers / the TV (Samsung TV – recommended!). As with everything here, the internet is shockingly bad, so accessing the NAS externally doesn’t really work (it’s not just about speed, the internet connection drops out a lot).

I hadn’t thought about the Amazon S3 syncing. That’s really interesting… I could find a place I can host my NAS (like a friend’s house or otherwise) with faster internet and sync it also to S3… hmm Great for when I’m on the move. Got me thinking! (and the credit card probably crying…)

BTW – I also bought myself an entry level NAS (~£105) that I’ll have connected up to my folk’s router back home. So when I’m on the move, I’ll be able to access everything on it and make remote backups. Plus, you can do nifty stuff with the NAS including Amazon S3 syncing – so you redundancy in case of a house fire! Should work for all my backup/storage needs and be much cheaper over the long term.

Use eBay to shift your old Mac? I have a MBP and an old iMac I need to sell to allow me to feel less guilty about the new MBA purchase.

Eek. That’s a really nice display. I actually have a 24″ LCD here which I can use when I’m docked at home. It’s not super awesome like your Dell, but “it’ll do” if I need more room.

I couldn’t be more happy with the setup

Hey Gareth, I ran the email from MailChimp through to Litmus App. I’m really impressed by results. IE / Firefox / Chrome / Safari on all the major web-based clients (Hotmail, Me, Yahoo and Gmail) were at least 95% perfect.

All desktop clients apart from Outlook 2003 were great too, oddly even Outlook XP (2002). No idea what’s going on there Microsoft…
