Just installed 10.6.6. No problems so far.

A little annoyed that it won't register my apps as "purchased" if I got them before the launch of the App Store. This will probably phase out as time goes on, though.

hi all, plan to purchase a new MBA 11" and I already have MBP 13". How to setup if I want to sync files easily between MBA and MBP? Do I need additional hardware or software?

easy way to do it on cloud, you can try
Dropbox, 2GB free
mobile me (perfect for you), paid

cuz you're not running server, those file are just store at local.
you're not pull file from central location

what i can recommend to you, use dropbox to sync files you're working on, then archive those you're are not longer needed, save it just for record.

Use MBA as remote, MBP as local

Good suggestion. I was thinking to use external hdd to store all the files but not sure it will be slow for accessing and of course a bit hassle to plug in hdd every time. smile.gif
Dropbox seems to be a better and convenient way.

what type of wireless router are you using? if you are using a wireless G router, mayb you can consider changing it to a wireless N router as it give better connection speed and also coverage area.

@miaka_tama that's a firmware upgrade. usually, you just need to tap the power button (~1 second) and your Mac will power up.

There is a DIY way to extend your router's wifi range, try google on it. I haven't try on it yet since I do not have any problems with my router

You can use an Airport Express to extend the range of your wireless network if your router supports WDS. For cheaper options, try the TP-Link Wireless repeaters, less than RM 90 each. Whatever you do, don't buy the DLink DAP-1360, that one just does not work.

In my house, I'm using the TPLink to boost the signal strength to upstairs. My router is downstairs. Works fine with my MBP, iPad, iPhone, PCs, etc... The DLink that I mentioned above does not work at all. Wierd.
