Should i buy kollection or webassist super suite

hi,
i going to buy either kollection or super suite to help me
with my dynamic web development as ive heard tney are the top 2.
i dont know which one to get though, and ive noticed super
suite is more than twice as much!
i know i should learn php and sql but i think these will help
me in the short term while im learning.
can anyone let me know which one is best? i wanted to trial
the old MX Kollection but it wouldnt work in dreamweaver 8?
Do any of these packages have a trial available?
Thanks for your advice.

I´m just comparing the feature sets of both extension
suites : unlike MXKollection, WebAssist´s Super Suite 3.0.0
has a shopping cart integrated as well as tools for website
creation, website import, dynamic flash charts, database search,
AJAX powered WEB photo albums and a so-called "cookies toolkit" --
apart from that both products seem to provide a similar set of
features.
Until now I´ve regretfully never had the opportunity to
test WebAssist´s products, but I´ve been using
MXKollection pretty much over the years without regrets.

The WebAssist website seems somewhat unclear in regards to
this
(or I simply can´t find it ;-), but I know that
Kollection doesn´t provide a trial version.

The current Kollection versions do work on DW 8.
On a side note :: when reading the official specifications I
see that WebAssist´s SuperSuite requires MySQL 4 or 5 --
MXKollection also runs on lower versions like 3.23. That said,:when
deciding on the SuperSuite, please make sure that both your
localhost development environment (e.g. XAMPP) and the remote
server have MySQL 4/5 installed, what´s - honestly said -
still a bit hard to find on the "remote side", especially on shared
hosting servers.

Need Advice on WebAssist Professional: Super Suite

I'm not sure where to post this. I started in another forum but then deleted it. I hope it's okay here.
I am a web designer who is slowing moving from GoLive to DWCS3. I know only a little about code and do not wish to write it. It is the other side of my brain, which is already taxed to the limit.
It seems inevitable that if I continue with web design, I willl have to buy more tools in order to use DW, stay up on web standards, and offer my clients the best products. I've recently been looking at ProjectSeven. Then I found the thread "KTML and CSS Menus Support" and read about WebAssist Professional.
I wonder if I could get some feedback on WebAssist Professional. How easy is it to use? Is the Super Suite worth the money? Etc. It's on sale until Sept. 25. Is this a worthwhile investment?
Thank you for your feedback.
Linda

Hello,
I purchased WA Super Suite and really like it due to the fact it saves me time laying out sites and developing the back end.
From my experience you will not find any tool, plugin or widget that will create all aspects for you in teh way you want or need it to be. There will always be bugs and that is why it is important to learn at least basics of coding. CSS, Xhtml, XML, PHP and MySQL. If you use other tings like CF or ASP then learn the basics at least of how they work.
The reason I purchased Super Suite was to dramatically speed up development time. I do not like ways it does certain things but I don't care because I will be changing it to fit my needs anyway. The bugs are interesting but I use Dreamweaver and PsPad to create with. I use Dreamweaver to visually layout the site and create dynamic backend stuff. I use PsPad to edit things DW won't let me then reload into DW to continue working.
I use code snipits and create my own library of code I changed from the generated code WA creates.
I am looking right now at purchasing ADDT to compliment WA Super Suite and the primary tool I am using is the Query Builder. I downloaded the Trial and really like it. The form builder at least so far creates all the form fields correctly unlike Web Assists Super Suite Form application. But how hard is it to use DW to change the fields? Takes me a few minutes at most to edit or replace a checkbox with a text field and then rearrange the form fields into the order I want.
I really love it, using Dreamweaver and these plugins to quickly generate pages that if I had to hand code or manually create would take hours. I do a lot of database driven applications and sites. The code alone would take me 4 or 5 hours just to do get all the database calls and data manipulated so I can use it.
That is why I am looking at ADDT and using both WA and ADDT to increase my productivity. Don't expect any software to auto generate webpages that will look, behave and operate exactly how you need it to out of the box. That is just the starting point for you to massage it and mold it to what you need. I personally will say that if you have both WA and ADDT you wil have a lot less massaging to do but like I said, if you don't know how it all works together in the code it will be more difficult for you.
I went to bestbuy the other day, they have a MAC store now in house. I played around with a few of their floor models. If you don't like to mess with code I would suggest go get a mac and just drag and drop what you want and design from a pure visual stand point. I messed with the editor in the new mac op sys for 20 minutes and never found out how you look at the source of the page so I guess it would never be a problem for the purely visual artists and designers out there.
The problem for us developers, designers and artists when it comes to building applications and sites for the internet. Is that everything on the internet is run by lines of code. You can dress them up and make all sorts of visual interfaces to modify those lines of code. Though I have never yet found a tool that will do everything possible you can do with those lines of code in the way you may need it to perform, behave, look etc...
That is why it is important to understand how those lines of code work. This gives you great power because you are not dependant on a specific tool that locks you into doing things the way the developer of that tool thinks it should be done. I love using tools, I love being able to press a button after answering some questions and have all those lines of code just magically appear so I don't have to go look in a book or research google forever and ever to know where and how to start.
But when it comes down to it, now matter how good the tool is. There will be somethings that is just easier and faster to edit, add, massage by hand. Then load it back in to the tool of your choice, mine is DW CS3 by the way, and see what it looks like.
Pricey, some of these tools and addon's to these tools are. Yes. BUT... Unless this is a hobby for you, the money earned back in actually using these tools to speed up your work flow is in the long run more than worth it.
I will share something with you from my own personal business. I just got 2 gigs that will earn my business over 100,000.00 probably over 200,000 over the next year. Guess what I am going to be using to create these websites and applications? Web Assist Super Suite and more than likely here really soon Adobe Dreamweaver Developer ToolKit/Toolbox...
Can I do the projects without them.. Of course. But why? I want to press a button and have all those lines of code generated for me. I then massage those lines of code to work how I want and need after the button is pressed. I really love it.
Yes, there is somethings that can't be done with the two tools and there are bugs in both. That is why it is very important to have at least a basic level understanding of how the backend code works so you can easily or somewhat easily not just take the bugs out but make it work to your needs.
Long post I am sorry about that but really when it comes to all this stuff. The internet changes on a daily basis, new technology pops up and technology blinks out or merges with others.. It is a common occurance. Developing or designing for the internet is literally like working on a living animal. The animal is continually moving, breathing and growing. Things that fit a month ago may not fit today. That is life.
The more you learn, the more you grow with the internet the more you will earn. Up your prices if you are freelance and start running your business as if it were indeed a business. I will receive on going revenue for the life of these projects including what I am paid upfront and ongoing to maintain them. Too many in our industry just shoot for the upfront monies. I don't want to work for a boss, I don't want to have a day job. I currently make more money doing less than any day job would be willing to pay me. I don't know, if the tool you use isn't working for you you have a couple options. Change it so it works for you OR buy a tool that will do what you need or at least more closely than your current tool.
That is what I love about Dreamweaver over all the other tools out there. You can make it do, and work how you want and need on a moments notice. Add a plugin, take the code generated from that plugin alter it to how you need it then create a snipit library and reuse it time after time, again and again. It is the combination that is so powerful, WA doesnt do what you need. alter it inside DW.. add a new plugin that takes up the slack.. merge the codes, massage until you get it working right then save it into library and create new template based on that. Then reuse again and again. Add to it, take away then create new template. rinse repeat and now you have a complete line of templates that allow you to create anything you want, that works how you want and the best part... You can make that work how you need to also and change...
Try doing that with rigid premade software out there, membership scripts, shopping carts.. whatever. Freaking nightmare, with limited flexibility and you have to change things to work with it not the other way around. That's why I invest in these tools. Great Stuff.

What license should i buy when buying ebusiness suite

Dear Sirs...
i am facing a problem of what license should i buy.
i would like to use oracle financials for example... as far as i know i can buy the financials license only if and only if i am installing this application on one server, so i should buy:
oracle financial user licenses
now if i want to use clustering on the financials (for 2 servers each with one cpu), then i should buy the license of:
oracle financial user licenses
oracle database server license x 2
oracle clustering license x 2
my question now is:
if i am installing financials on a server with 4 cpus, then the license that i will buy will be
oracle financial user licenses
is this correct???? or not?
please where can i find such oracle license details?
thanks for any help in advance
best regards

Dear Sir...
just to make sure...
assume i have a company with 200 employees, i want to use finacials application, the application will be deployed on a single server with 4 cpus. the quantity of the license i should buy now is:
1- 10% of the 200 users = 20 user license, or
2- 10% of the 200 users =20 x 4 cpus = 80 user license, or
3- 200 user license, or
4- 200 x 4 = 800 user license ?
it is supposed i should buy 10% of the 200 users = 20 user license, but i am getting confused because terms of named user plus and cpu license.
is there anyone who can conform which one is correct?
thanks in advance

I'm a student, should I buy MacBook?

Hey everyone, I'm a student and my needs are a good decent laptop that don't make alot of noise and should be very stable so my documents are safe.
Question: Should I buy MacBook (1.83GHz, 1GIG RAM, 80GB HD)?
Sorry, it's hard to read what is really going on because I see some people do have some problems. I'm kinda hoping that I will hear something nice and good about MacBook, because it does look good the laptop and Mac OS X itself and I'm very tired of old Windows (PC) so...

Hey there! I'm a university student and worked from about 20 till I was / am 25 years old with Windows PCs and Notebooks. I'm still using a desktop PC but as a mobile solution I bought a MacBook three months ago. It's super. The office applications work great (for me: Word and Powerpoint are most important for university) and I've also cut a movie for my sisters school class .
There is this 'fan problem' (which you'll find in discussions around here) but it's still silent enough for lectures and other kinds at school or university. But if you want to watch a DVD during class, the 'insert mechanism' is a little bit loud .
Of course as a 'new-mac-user' you have to get used to the OS but after a short period of time trying and working with it you'll love it!
It IS and looks good... I can totally recommend it!

Should I buy AppleWorks?

I have an iBook G3 [600 MHz PowerPC G3 and 384 MB SDRAM] running panther [10.3.9]
and unfortunately I do not have any sort of office suite, only text edit :'(
and I do not want to spend all the money on office or iwork or what ever
so should I buy AppleWorks? Will it [or what version] will run smoothly on my computer?
and if i make a slide show presentation, word processing document, or excel sheet, can I transfer that and work on it in windows microsoft office?

AppleWorks was bundled with your G3 iBook. You should be able to install it from the original install disk(s) that came with the computer.
The two articles linked below provide information about installing AppleWorks from your original install disk(s).
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300316

Once installed, you can get the AppleWorks 6.2.9 (US/North American English) updater HERE.

Pos, what an enumeration ! I think that your point of view is slightly biased, and that some "statements" need a bit more explanation.
Mac OS X definitely looks great (we're talking about the graphical user interface - after all, when browsing Microsoft's website, you could very well say that Windows looks great and because it works as it should and doesn't get in your way like Windows often does, it feels great to use this system.
It is UNIX-based, which means it relies on a well-known, reliable foundation (UNIX). The core of the system, Darwin (which is basically Mac OS X w/out all the user interface and bundled applications), is Open Source, which means that its source code is available to anyone, and can therefore be thoroughly analyzed and tested by any knowledgeable person who wants to - thus helping detecting issues (or bugs, if you prefer) and fixing them, which results in greater reliability and security for OS X.
I disagree with No hacking and Bulletproof and stealth security : it isn't entirely accurate, and can be misleading. Mac OS X is not hacker-proof : it can be hacked, just like any other operating system, in many ways. However, it does inculde a software firewall which has a good reputation, and offers an option called "Sealth Mode", which will make your Mac invisible to hackers. It should be enough to protect you from many threats, and if you use a router to connect to the internet, it probably has a (hardware) firewall of its own.
On the other hand, Mac OS X is definitely more secure than Windows. It has less security holes, and since Macs don't run Windows applications (and Windows PCs don't run Mac apps), and that viruses are nothing else than very compact applications, a Mac cannot be affected by Windows viruses and worms. There are some viruses targeting previous versions of the MacOS, but Mac OS X is an all-knew operating system and isn't affected by them (as long as you don't run OS 9 through Classic - but that's only necessary if you want to use old Mac apps, and as a switcher you are unlikely to do so). Viruses, and pieces of malicious software targeting OS X are very rare, and often remain a "proof of concept" ...
Any new Mac comes with a lot of bundled software, including word processing applications (such as AppleWorks, which is kind of outdated now - but many other are available, including Microsoft Office:mac 2004 and a version of OpenOffice.org) and the iLife suite :
iTunes is a well-known application which is also available for Windows;
iPhoto is an app to manage your photo library, it isn't great, but isn't bad either and is well integrated with the other iApps;
GarageBand allows you to make or record your own music, with your keyboard (with software instruments, it's not very practical) or external instruments connected via USB or FireWire
[Warning : this is an application that uses a lot of resources, if you want to run it on a Mini, you might need more than the standard 512 Megabytes of RAM for smooth operation, and a more powerful Macintosh such as the iMac would definitely be a plus];
iMovie HD can edit homemade movies (you need a digital camcorder, and to store the video on your Mac, you'll need a large hard disk usch as an external FireWire one) : you can add transitions, rearrange the order of scenes, add text, chapters, etc.
[in order to edit HD -stands for High Definition - video, you'll need an HD digital camcorder, and probably more processing power than a Mini can offer];
iDVD, which will be of no help to watch DVDs (there is an application called DVD Player that will do this), but create your own DVDs, with chapters, etc.
[if you want to burn these DVDs to disc, you must order your Mac with a Superdrive or add an external FireWire or USB DVD burner].
Apart from the iLife suite, Mac OS X comes with other apps, including Mail (an email client like Outlook Express - just a lot nicer), Safari (a web browser, note that Firefox is also available for the Mac), iSync to synchronize your cell phone or PDA, and many others.
Coming from the Windows world, I'd say that the Mac platform can do almost everything the Windows platform can, often better. The area where the Mac is inferior to the Windows PC is gaming (a Mac is capable of running games, but Mac versions of games often come long after the PC version and aren't as nice).
If you choose the Mac, then the Mini is a good, relatively unexpensive Mac, which is very capable and will browse the web, manage you photos and your music well. The iMac is more expensive, but will offer a lot more power, and a Media Center-like application called Front Row (but it's easier to use than on the PC). In both cases, I think everyone would agree to say that it is wise to wait for Steve Job's keynote at the Macworld Expo (on January 10, 9 A.M. PST) : new products are likely to be announced, and even if the new "Macintels" (Mac with Intel processors, like on the PC) aren't released, iLife '06 should be bundled with every new Mac after the Expo (otherwise you'd get iLife '05 and will have to pay if you want to get the latest - the current version is great but if you can get the new version for "free", it won't hurt, will it ?).

Should I buy the Nokia N8?

Hi everyone,
I'm in the market looking for a new phone to buy, and when I saw the new N8, I immediately fell in love with it.
The thing is, doing a little research on the phone on the internet, it seems it has a BIG power problem (keeps turning off and ultimately, failing to turn back on). If I'm not mistaking, this problem has been discovered back in November 2010.
Considering this phone is relatively expensive, should I buy it or not? considering that it has been nearly half a year since the power problem has been detected and that the Nokia people have "taken immediate action across the product line.", so probable the problem should be solved by now right?
Cheers!

Sales = 1,000,000's , complaints=100's, do the maths, and do some independent research ! Most reviewers are very positive, I have a Symbian^3 phone and love it, but it may not suite you, do some research and find a phone that suites your needs ?

What is the difference between regular Aperture software and the app? If I were to buy an app or a software as a hobbyist, what should I buy??? Little confused between the two...Please advise.

Dear All,
I am a newbie to MAC world. Being an ex-PC guy, I am used to CDs and traditional software. I want to buy Aperture as my main photo editing software. I have been using DXO and Photoshop in the past. I downloaded Apeture trial version and I am comfortable with it. If I were to buy it, should I buy an app or traditional software CD. I edit approx. 4-5 pictures a day, just for personal use though. Please advise.
Regards,
Gurpreet.

That's a function of your Credit Card not of the Software
But you're right, I was vague. Whether you buy from the App Store or the Disk makes no difference to the functionality of the software. It's the same.

What PSU should i buy?

Hey, i have an important question. I have seen a bunch of posts here on the forum about lack of juice out of PSU's with certain hardware configs....
I think i have the same problems here, flickering textures in games, when playing games they just quit and im back in windows.... and even sometimes it just hangs.... this is only when playing games or 3D rendering in 3D studio max.
Here are my system specs.
ESC K7S6A mainboard (bios version 1.0f )
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
512 MB DDR
WD 40GB/8mb cache (7200rpm)
WD 80GB/2mb cache (7200rpm)
LiteOn CDRW 48x
LiteOn CD/DVD 48x/24x
SB Audigy player 5.1
MSI G4Ti4600-VTD (also tested with MSI G4MX440)
3com Network card 10/100
Microsoft optical mouse
PSU 300w
Windows XP Professional Corp. (NL + SP1)
DirectX 9.0
nVidia 41.09 drivers for WinXP
I think that my PSU is not good (correct me if im wrong), what PSU should i buy with my specs? please give me a brand and typenumber...

Is there any way to check if the power supply is definetly causing problems - I just bought am G4MX440 and after installing it (was using 32meg TNT2), game graphics are all screwey
TO-AOT (blank screen)
Q3 (all i get in the menus is the firey surround 'quake 3')
GTA3 ('bout a hundred tiled menu windows)
After reading many of the posts I assumed it was my power supply, went back to where i bought it (both the pc and the card) to upgrade nah it's the card bring it back.
P4 1.5 on GA-8IDX
SONY DVD
PANASONIC 8*4*32 CD-R/W
512 MB SD
MSI G4MX440-T
some TV tuner card (dunno)
directX 8.1 also tried 9
300W psu
3.3 - 14A | 160W combined
5 - 30A |
12 - 15A
These guys are selling all their P4 packages with various G4 and other card with 300W power supplies without issue (or so they say)
so any way to check for sure, will the rails dip significantly? I be grateful for any suggestions caus if i take it back you know it will sit on a shelf for a a few days b4 they get around to it - and i'm itching to try it out....

It seems that my Office 2008 is incompatible with the Yosemite OS that my friend just installed on my iMac. My Word no longer works. Also, I can't access messages on Entourage. What version of Office should I buy?

My friend installed OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on my iMac. Since then, I can barely use my Miocrsoft Word 2008. The spinning pinwheel, things freezing up, template and formatting trouble, and I can't get any Entourage messages more than a year old, which is a disaster. I read that Yosemite won't support Word 2008. What Microsoft Update should I buy, and will that fix my problems? I am desperate. Thank you in advance for your help. Here is the result I got from EtreCheck. I hope this helps you help me. BTW, your drop-down menu under Operating System doesn't work

Does Office for Mac 2008 now work correctly? If not, you may want to repeat the above first sentence, and then update to Office for Mac 2011, and apply the latest (14.4.8) update which has Yosemite fixes.

HELP! I need some help from true Mac fans! What should I buy???

So, I'm moving to Japan, which has a couple of implications (other than the fact that my wife's parents and my parents are looking for any legal recourse to stop us from taking their only grandchild out of the country). More importantly however, I have had to sell my B&O TV and music system (different signals from the UK where we now live). I also decided to sell our stereo (or rather my wife decided it was too bulky so as long as it was not in the living room or bedroom I could keep it...). Finally, I need a new laptop for personal use. I have some friends that are absolute mac fans, who have convinced me to go over to the other side (i.e. yours).
The opportunity I now have is to create a complete system as I need a laptop, something to play my music, a TV, etc. Given I am starting from a clean sheet I was hoping somebody out there could help me 'design' a complete set-up. My wife and I are keen photographers (both photography and video), we like listening to music, and watching movies (we definitely need a region-free DVD player), so what should we buy?
Any input would be hugely appreciated.

OSX also supports IME right out of the box.

It sets up pretty well, too; I like it more than Mircrosoft's implementation (language bar).
Only thing to keep in mind is where you buy the MacBook; if you get it in Japan you'll get a Japanese keyboard, which displays most of the kana alongside the keys. You also get the conversion and switch keys on the keyboard itself, which is great.
The MacBook Power Unit is multi-voltage, so no matter where you pick it up the worst you need is a plug adapter; although getting one from apple would be best. Just don't think you need to buy a new power unit, only the plug and cable.

If I have a 2009 iMac, can I upgrade to use it with Apple TV. It doesn't have Airplay capability. If possible, what should I buy?

You need a newer 2011 or later iMac to use Airplay.
Sorry.
For older Mac, look at an app called AirParrot

Should You Buy An iPhone Now, Or Wait For The Next One?

Great article by HuffPost Tech.
The most common thing I get asked whenever I tell anyone I'm a tech writer is some version of the question: "Should I get a new iPhone now, or should I wait until the next one comes out?" It is as though my business card should read not "Technology Writer," and instead "iPhone Psychic"
Not that I am not happy to prognosticate! And in that spirit, here's a look at the questions on everyone's mind: Should I buy an iPhone now? And if not now, when?
First, let me say that I am fascinated by the peculiar kind of panic that I encounter in people I meet who are deciding on a purchase date for their next Apple phone. I call it the iSenberg Uncertainty Principle: Potential iPhone buyers exist in a constant state of anxiety, perpetually worrying that purchasing an iPhone on any given day will mean that they will miss out on the inevitably cooler version with the mind-blowing new features soon down the road. The Cupertino Sword of Damocles constantly dangles over their heads, threatening to pierce them with unhipness and iShame.
Here is one solid piece of advice I can offer to help you avoid the Sword: Do not buy any new iPhone until September. Apple has an annual media conference each September, and every blog with the word 'Mac' in the title is reporting that Steve Jobs is going to do his black turtleneck thing and introduce some kind of new iPhone there. The September Media conference is generally used to present the new iPods, but as All Things Digital reports, Apple plans to "commandeer" the conference for its official iPhone announcement.
Apple is long overdue to release its new iPhone anyway, if history is any indication. Look at this handy little timeline:
June 2007: original iPhone released
June 2008: iPhone 3G released
June 2009: iPhone 3Gs released
June 2010: iPhone 4 released
June 2011: Nothing!
In other words, the 5th generation iPhone is already a month late, so it makes sense that the rumors are swirling. Apple's tardiness can be explained by the fact they've actually already released two iPhones in 2011 -- the Verizon iPhone in February and the unlocked iPhone 4 in June. Their schedule is all screwy, like a traveler trying to get over jet lag. But all signs point to them getting right with a September Apple iPhone release.
So what jaw-dropping new feature will this iPhone boast? We're hearing that the "iPhone 4S," as it is rumored to be called, won't be the dramatic re-imagining that many of us have come to expect with each new iPhone release. Tech blogThis Is My Next thinks that it will be thinner and lighter, and that it will run on a new chip; the New York Times thinks that it will be the same dimensions as the iPhone 4 but that it will be cheaper. Bloomberg agrees with This Is My Next on the chip and adds that the rear-facing camera will upgrade to 8 megapixels from 5 megapixels.
Now, even if you're just a normal, non-geek iPhone user, who doesn't care if the rear-facing camera doubles its megapixel count, or if Apple has changed the manufacturer of its data processors, or whatever, you still need to at least wait for the alleged iPhone announcement, and here's why: if history is any indicator, the introduction of a newer iPhone model is accompanied by a drop in price of older iPhone models. When the iPhone 3GS was announced, the price of the iPhone 3G dropped by $100; when the iPhone 4 was announced, the price of an iPhone 3GS also dropped by $100. Even if you know that you're not going to drop $400 on whatever iPhone Apple begins peddling in September, there is no sense in paying more money for an iPhone 4 or 3Gs now when the base price of both seem like locks to drop in two months.
But before we start fantasizing, how can we be so certain that Jobs is even going to announce an iPhone in September if Apple hasn't so much as indicated such a thing? How do we know that all of these rumors weren't just started by lonely nerds like me and my co-workers emailing each other from our mother's basements, inciting iPhone rumors all on our own?
Well, first of all, I don't live with my mother; and second of all, the new iPhone rumors have sprung forth from two reliable sources held in high journalistic regard.
The first is esteemed, award-winning tech journalist John Paczkowski of All Things Digital, who blazed iPhone prognostication trails by predicting back in April that an updated iPhone 4 would be unveiled at the September Apple music Conference and has steadfastly maintained the claim is true through June and into July. In fact, he confirmed as recently as July 5 that a shiny new iPhone looked to be in the early stages of supply chain production, and that people close to the company still believe that the new iPhone would be ready for the Jobs treatment in September.
So there is Reliable Source One.
Reliable Source Number Two is the Wall Street Journal, not exactly a one-laptop operation. The paper gives "the end of September" as a target launch date, which squares up with both Paczkowski's prediction of a September announcement and release. This doesn't even mention This Is My Next's separate prediction of a September release, nor 9to5Mac reporting that there are going to be two new iPhones in September, one low-end and high-end. But now we're falling down the rabbit hole and into the basement again, so let's focus:
There is likely to be a new iPhone in September. It will likely affect the price of all the other iPhones. The iPhones available now -- the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3Gs -- will probably be cheaper in two months. Unless you drop your current iPhone in a pool, a bathtub or a volcano, do not buy an iPhone until Steve Jobs opens his beautiful brilliant mouth at the Apple conference in early September. When the post-turtleneckian dust settles, we'll have a clearer picture of whether or not this rumored new iPhone is worth the money. And then we can talk about--well, whether or not you should buy an iPhone now, or wait until the next one comes out.

Apple has two prototypes out testing now. One is a thinner totally redesigned case. The problem with it is that Foxconn can't seem to build it. Hence the delay. The other prototype uses the existing case, but with updated (read dual core) internals. If they can get production up by September the first phone will be released and will be the iPhone 5. If they cannot, then the second prototype will be released as the iPhone 4GS.

Going to upgrade to Lion. First have to back up computer. What external hard drive should I buy to back up computer using "time machine". Have 320 gb hard drive.

I am going to upgrade to Lion. First have to back up computer. What external hard drives should I buy in order to use time machine. I have a 320 GB hard drive. Don't have too much on computer.

Buy an external drive 320G or larger (much larger is preferable). I do not recommend you use TM for this, instead download a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner and make a clone of your drive. Once this is done you have 2 choices, you can download and install Lion on your internal drive just as you planned or download and install Lion to the external clone, the 2nd method allows you to test the Lion install before committing to it. If the clone with Lion is to your liking then just clone it back to the internal.
