SurplusMeter Connection Type?

Hi,



I started using SurplusMeter because my internet usage with Bell seems to be much higher than what I think I'm using - so I want to double check.



Today, so far, SurplusMeter indicatesI used 306MB whereas bell shows over 5GB !!! for the day so far



So something is obviously a mile off.



I have four computers connected to a Belkin "N" router, three Macs and one PC.

All connect wirelessly



The router connects to a DSL modem via a short Ethernet cable and the DSL modem of course connects to the phone line.



I had the connection type of SurplusMeter set to "Airport" since all the computers connect via the wireless LAN, but now I'm wondering what SurplusMeter connection type really means.

They have other options for PPP modem, Ethernet port and network card, should I have set that connectivity to PPP modem or the Ethernet port?



The SurplusMeter help info is of no help, all they say is to set the connection type to the connection one has - but what connection are they talking about?

I assumed it was the connection used by the computers but now I'm thinking they probably meant the connection to the net which would probably be ethernet in my case since the DSL modem is a separate unit.

Buying a "newer" Mac Pro

Proof, I guess that good things never go out of style and will always be in demand-no matter how finite the supply. I have a Quad Core Mac pro which has served me faithfully these many years ( I think I got it in 2007 as a replacement for one of those Leaky Macs)

anyhew--I know it's not state of the art by any stretch of the imagination, and I'm kinda looking at buying something newer and beefier, say a 12- core Nehalem ( I thought it would be Nikto, oh well)...but they do seem to be in pretty short supply. I can find a guy who might have a few in stock, but he's in MIssisauga Ontario, and I'm here in Alberta. I don't know of any "refurbished" mac pro dealers in Edmonton as such. so, it'd be him or macsales.com. Either way, I'll be paying for the shipping. If anyone knows of someone who sells this kind of thing in Alberta, drop me a line, otherwise,I'll have to line 'em up and fire when ready. Wonder if they take trades?

Interestedly

Question: Options To Upgrade My 2014 Mac Mini

A year ago now, I bought a brand new Mac Mini and it likely hasn't got 10 hours use on it. Why? Because I find it so incredibly slow compared to using my rMBP. I bought it to serve as a back up in case my rMBP ever failed or was in for repairs for a length of time. I wanted to clone the rMBP to the Mini and have matching computers so to speak.



The mini is 2.5GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM, 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400.



I have read that one can run Yosemite on an external SSD to improve performance and that brings me to several questions.



Could I run the OS on an external SSD and use the resident 500 GB HD as storage and would there be a speed increase?



But if I could, how would one 'clone' the data on my rMBP daily to keep it matching the mini? Seems to me with the OS missing from the resident drive that could complicate things.



Or would I be better off to swap the resident drive with a small SSD and use the resident drive as data storage on an external USB 3 enclosure? If so, is this something I could do myself or is it too complicated?



Again, I see no easy way to clone the rMBP to the mini daily to keep them matching, or could that external HD be a clone of the rMBP including the OS to easily match them without affecting the performance of the Mini?



Or do I just put up with the slow speed and write this whole thing off as a bad idea?



Thanks for any suggestions that might be out there that I am not aware of that could improve my Mini's performance and allow me to essentially run twin machines.
