[QUOTE="skeeter38, post: 1587214, member: 326986"] Thanks so much Slydude. I am grateful you and whomever else bothered answering my 'clearly-uneducated-mac-user' concerns. I have tried reading your forum and - embarrassing but true - don't understand almost all of what is being discussed/posted. I know nothing about computer hardware or software. I am one of those who use the internet to check mail and run around the internet and that's about it. I replaced my battery. Apple wanted $129, but I found it on eBay for $38 + free shipping. My battery needed replacing anyway.. it's life after a full charge was 45min max. Now I have my new battery installed and it is giving me about 3 hours after charging.. Is that about what I should expect? (or should it be giving me even more?) You were right about the right-click. When I plugged in the mouse, I had right-click menu's galore! I mainly use it to delete things and to look up words in the dictionary. The "double tap with 3 fingers" was not working at all and now it is. So, I am getting used to the upgrade… But I still do NOT like the way the browser has to reload ALL the pages to get content. The Safari version in Leopard rarely required page reloading but when it did, it would just load that one page. I also do NOT like the absence of progress loading that used to be in the status bar. I can't tell if the browser is not loading properly, is slow, or is finished. FYI - I have the MacBook, Unibody aluminum (late 2008) Model 5.1 I think it is. If this isn't the appropriate way to ask a question about something extraneous…. I have been trying all day to get my Mac to read a kindle book in voice-over and can't figure it out. Not a big deal - nobody need to investigate it , just respond if you know how to do that. Thanks, Stacy [/QUOTE]
