I have a few VERY early morning thoughts.
1. Abandon the web site idea and focus on a series of word processed pages stored in separate file folders.
2. Have another go at looking at teleconverters for my camera.
3. Have a close look at the MacBook Air laptop computer.
4. I mustn’t forget the birding presentation at the beginning of February.
- Check my Tims card balance. I have a new Tim Hortons app that includes an option that gives me the current balance on my card. The app also gives me the location of the nearest 10 Tims shops and directions on how to get to the one that is selected. Very cool.

I have updated my Skype software on the mac but still need to test it out. There is a message opposite Larry’s contact name that says “Pending contact request” which I assume is a recent message from him but I am not sure what to do next. … I have also added a free app for Skype to my iPad2.
There does not appear to be an app for iChat on the iPad2.
I have a few questions about using Filemaker Pro on the new MacBook Air:
- can I transfer Filemaker Pro (version 8.0 v1) files to the MacBook Air?
- can I transfer them to Bento?
- does Filemaker Pro 11 work with Lion? (2GB OSX 10.6)
- does the database program in iWork handle my files?
Does the MacBook Air work with a projector?

I am making progress with possible use of Lion software and a Macbook Air:
Bento 4 downloaded for 30 day trial (this is a simplified database app)
Birding files transferred from Filemaker Pro to Bento. Amazing!
Begin using Pages for a word processor/page layout.
