comment 2010 Mac Pro beachballing/freezing
Have you checked with Apricorn to see if this is a known issue with their card and your model Mac? Or to see if there are any firmware or driver updates for that card?

comment How to use two email handlers in Google Chrome?
I have the same issue - you could probably use the Mailto: Chrome extensions to change your preferred mailto handler, but an ideal solution would let you define a secondary keyboard shortcut for your alternate mailto: client.

comment Chax with Lion: downgrading iChat to 5.0.3?
That won't work. OS-bundled applications are not portable between major revisions of the OS. The Snow leopard installer won't allow reinstallation of a single application; the iChat.app copied over to a 10.7 system won't launch.

comment How to determine which files are on SSD on Fusion Drive?
This isn't an answer but is definitely worth a look: anandtech.com/show/6679/a-month-with-apples-fusion-drive The author uses iStat Menus 4 to view disk activity of the individual devices, you can see them on page 3, "Under The Hood."

comment Can i use my old MacBook charger on my new Mac?
Does the old power adapter show any lights at all when connected to either MBP? Have you tried doing a SMC reset on the MBP that isn't charging?

comment Should I disable wifi if I use ethernet?
Fast Ethernet (100mb) will be faster than wireless for file copies, yes. OS X will use whichever interface is listed first (top) in Network Preferences.

comment Networking dead after a disk/permissions repair
Have you tried a SMC reset yet? You could also try using Network preferences to delete the Ethernet interface, restart, then reopen Network prefs and see if it is re-added.

comment Why Firefox takes so long to open in Mac OS X?
Is there a reason you're running such an old build of FF? The most recent builds (versions 17.0.x through today's 19.0.2) have opened just fine on all my workstations, many of which have slower components than what you list.

comment Considering Switch to Mac workstations and OS X Server; what unforeseen consequences should I be wary of?
Ah - w/r/t two servers, yes, I meant that for better reliability and flexibility, you should have a second physical system at the other location; that would give you the most options in terms of file storage, what going where, etc. If your WAN had trouble you don't want the other side being totally cut off. If you're the only dev, even better. :D
