Split Screen Users

Believe it or not, I just tried out the Split Screen function of El Capitan and find it quite interesting. Not sure how often I'll use it. Can anyone chime in as to how useful they find it? It takes a bit getting use to.

Old RAM (memory) modules

You know what would be nice?

A website where you type in (or select from a menu) the kind of ram modules you have left over after an upgrade, and identify what other machines in which they could be used.

I have a bunch of DDR3 1066 1gig modules... pretty much useless to me. I'd love to pop 'em into my office iMac (2009 model) but my 2 slots are already populated....

Homebrew ???

I want to save a short YouTube vido on my Mac so I can play it when I'm not connected to the net.

The applications I have to save YouTube videos don't seem to be able to download this video so I tried the Video Download helper that I have installed with Firefox.
That option supposedly allows me to download the video but it requires some software to combine audio and video and that software in turn depends on an application (or script, I'm not sure, called Homebrew.

Homebrew is installed via the terminal - and since I'm rather cautious when it cvomes to using terminal commands, I thought I'd ask here if anyone is using Homebrew with their Mac.
Anything to watch out for?
Any issues?

Up date message from Apple router

Hi
For the last two days, there is a message box on my screen stating that my Apple router (extreme base station) is doing an up-date to the internal program. What is this? How come it doesn't get over this task?

Internet functions flawlessly.

Thanks

mac temperature app?

A co-worker has an old intel iMac, the white ones that came out just after the G5 iMacs. It is having issues, freezing and shutting down. She says it gets very hot and if after it crashes she lets it sit for a while she can use it longer the next time she boots up. Definitely sounds like it could be a heat issue. Any good free apps I can install to take a look?

If it is indeed a fan and overheating is a problem, is it worth it to replace/fix? Will the Apple store do this?

Lightning clock radios, etc (with both FM and AM)

just wondering if there are a bunch. I've seen one from sony, but that's about it). Most of the ones I've seen may have a Lightning connector, but FM only, no AM, and certainly no cd drive of any kind (not a deal-breaker, by any stretch, but it's nice to have that option, I suppose). I've seen a few "mini stereos" with a lightning connector,. but not too sure about whether or not they have a clock and alarm feature, something compact-ish might be nice
and not super duper expensive, either. I'm not exactly going to be plunking down $750 every day on something that'll sit by my bedside and keep me entertained. That's a little bit too much to ask of me, I think :eek:

thanks for any suggestions
