Notwithstanding all the recent orgasmic recollections of Steve Jobs, Woz was the reason for Apple's original success, without which, the name "Steve Jobs" would have elicited, "Who?" Regards, Russ

SharpColorado -- Welcome to the forum. I hate to be rude, but I just need to ask: Are you sane? It was once my belief that anyone who spent much time programming in Assembly(er) necessarily had to be either insane or incompetent. The two just don't go together. :-) I dabbled in it...

Bert -- I have the 12C. Also have two of them. Used to be one for home, one for office; now, I keep one on my desk and one in my travel bag. Both of them still work great. Take care, Russ

Bert -- Actually, they are, but the complainers make more noise than those of us who like it. I bought two -- one for me and one for Ladyfriend. She loves it. Good looking setup! Take care, Russ

Willie -- Hopefully, not quite that stupid. Glad you found a solution. If there was a prize or a plaque for "Dumbass," it would have to be given out in multiple copies, and most of us here would have earned one (or more). Take care, Russ

Willie -- Just copy the install program files onto a USB drive and install from there. I have done that several times and it works. Regards, Russ

Festus -- This is what I'm using: StarTech.com USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet NIC Network Adapter Works great. I bought three of them -- one for me, two for Ladyfriend (home & office). Regards, Russ

Richard -- That is a great little drive. It is what I run in my "main" computer. Amazon currently reports 2 in stock at this link: Amazon Intel 520, 480GB I run the Intel SSD as my C: drive, with all program material on it. All data is stored on separate drives. That works for me because...

Poom -- That is what we wanted to hear. That is good news, indeed! I'm not sure I understand your concern about the product key. Your product key should be the same as before. It came with the Surface Pro. The key is identified with your particular machine, and should activate online...

Poom -- As I stated in previous post, those files are exactly as produced by the Pro's "Create Recovery" system. Do not do anything to them. Put all the files on a USB drive (without the "Surface Recovery" folder) and boot to that drive. Everything should happen automatically from there. I...

Poom -- The email program makes that look like a log-in link, but it really isn't. It is an FTP connection, as you figured out. Those files are exactly as created by the Pro's Create Recovery system. A single file would be 6.5G, which is too big to put on a FAT32 drive, which is what the...

Richard -- You can have it if you post me your email (PM suggested), but since you have a Pro, it's probably easier to make your own. All you need is an 8GB USB drive. Go to Search - Recovery - /Settings/Create a recovery drive. I suspect that you can create one in less time than you can...

Poom -- Check your email. No thunderstorms this time. Let me know if it works Ok. I created that Recovery set on my Pro, but have not tested it. The only way I would know to test it is, of course, something I really don't want to do. Take care, Russ

Poom -- I tried to upload it last night, but, as I feared, a thunderstorm during the night took down the DSL. I am a little bit rural here, and my DSL is not always dependable. Some of the stuff got uploaded, but the big files did not. They are uploading now, about 1/4 done, so I think...

Poom Chansee -- I have a Pro Recovery Image which I could upload to my web site, but want to make sure you could use it first. Will a Recovery Image from a USA source Pro work on your machine? If somebody knows, I will upload it tonight (unless we have a thunderstorm -- those always take...

Kayzee -- Mostly with me. I am a pragmatic guy, so I do what makes my life simpler or better, or both. Like KristalSoldier, I am not a fan of any company, but will stay with one if changing means complications in my life. My camera is a good example here: I am an avid photographer (even...

Mitchell -- Or maybe ought to be stoned -- in the Biblical sense. Regards, Russ

Lolvo -- The cable Mike sells works with the Intocircuit battery, because that is the battery he sells. I got two of the cables from Mike (one for me, one for Ladyfriend). With the variety of tips provided, it would probably adapt to the XP18000A battery, but I don't know. I made my own...

I was at an all-day business meeting today, and encountered something I had not seen before. (**) The host facility had an excellent Guest WiFi network -- solid five bars all day. I could browse the web handily, however, when I checked for email, I got nothing. My email is POP3 and I use...

Lolvo -- I have both a Pro and an RT, plus my Ladyfriend has a Pro, and she travels. Also, as discussed in the other thread, I have both an Intocircuit battery and an Energizer XP18000A. Both work equally well on RT or Pro -- just different rundown times. Yes, you can get just the cable from...
