    Can you use an old iMac as a monitor for a newer Mac Mini? A client was throwing away an old 27" iMac. He gave it to me instead. I believe it's a mid 2011 model. His repair guy said the logic board is shot & it's trash but it looks brand new physically. The power light comes on, the screen...

    MacBook Air mid 2011 BTLE Card for Watch Unlock?

    I replaced the WiFI/BTLE cards on both my 5,1 Mac Pro and mid 2012 MacBook Pro Retina. They now support watch unlock and I really like it. Is there a card that fits the MacBook Air mid 2011? I would prefer not to patch drivers except for using CAT. It looks like you could fit the card I used...
