Shipping more than a parcel but less than a whole house

Hello, my brother moved from Ontario to BC several years ago and now I would like to ship him his stuff. His stuff would fit on 4-6 skids/pallets.



I'm playing around with idea of driving it out, putting it in a moving truck or something else.



What is the most economical and/or easiest way to get that stuff out of the basement?

antenna strength?

Hello, We live in a rural area which has 2 cell towers within a few miles. One is Rogers, the

other Telus. Couldn't get any reception while on contract with Telus, so switched to Rogers.

Can send and receive text (most of the time) at home.



My iPhone 3GS will ring in the house, but can't answer. Friends have iPhone 4S, on Bell, they seem to be able to get reception here.



Time for new phones- which has best phone reception in dicey areas, tall trees, etc

iPhone 4S, 5C or 5S? Would even consider android if we could use it here……



Wifi works fine, mostly use the iMac desktop in the house, but would be nice to be able

to call and receive phone calls at home.

MacPro Daisy-Chaining

This is What 42 Peripherals Daisy Chained to a 2013 Mac Pro Looks Like





Macworld connected 36 drives (19 Thunderbolt, 15 USB, 2 FireWire 800) with a combined capacity of 100.63TB. They also connected two Thunderbolt docks (the Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock and the CalDigit Thunderbolt Station), an Apple Thunderbolt Display, two Apple Cinema Displays, and one HP Z Display Z27. WHEW!



A dozen of the drives were powered directly via the cables connecting them to the Mac Pro, the remaining 24 required external power. The combined power draw when running a script that copied data from the Pro’s internal flash storage to the external drives was 865 Watts.



The Mac OS X Activity Monitor showed that there was a combined throughput of 3 Gbps. The rate slowed as the fastest drives, (OWC’s Mercury Helios), finished transferring data.
