Well, - I can only tell what he tells me. - His working area all all over Denmark except the insel Bornholm in the Baltic Sea.:-) - And the wifi problems could be because of poor coverage in some places in Denmark - especially here in Jutland... On his own MBP he has both 10.6.x, 10.7.x, 10.8.x and 10.9.x - bootable in 10.7.x only and the three others virtually so he can switch between them very fast... Sometimes he calls me for sparring to hear my opinion, and my first question is always "How much memory does the machine have?" - and he always replies that this is also his first question to the customer... Many of the times it turns out that the machine has as little as 2gb or 3gb. And I always advice him to advice his customers to upgrade to 4gb as the absolute minimum - best to 8gb if possible - else to 4gb or 6gb on MBs/MBPs and 8gb or more on iMacs and MacPros. This has always increased both performance and stability - but not always on speed of the applications... I've run MSOffice 2011 myself on my MacPro 4x2,66ghz, 16gb RAM, and MSO is as slow as an overfatted snail.:-( - So I downgraded to MSO2008 again which is much faster than 2011...
