No thanks! I enabled FaceTime on my Mac for a reason, and >> it should route calls to it when I am using it - period. JF Mezei is just >> being hist typical foolish self.

No, because that isnt feasible with a phone. It is with a computer however. > It is just plain stupid to delay the facetime call > appearing on all devices except one chosen by Apple. It does make sense to have it first appear on the one you appear to be using, instead of taking pot luck with which one rings first, which might well be one physically away from the one you are using, so you stop what you are doing to go to the one that rings first, instead of waiting to see if it rings on the one you are actually using. > If i leave my desk for a minute and bring phone with me, > do you really think it is right for only the computer to ring In that case the phone knows its just been moved and its reasonable to assume that that is what should ring first. > and you can't know there is an incoming call because > Apple has chosen to not send the call to your phone ? It does ring the others later if you havent answered it on anything.
