The latest version on Norton is not that heavy, and you can customize it to become lighter... If you have north of 4 Gigs of memory it should be OK... Kaspersky is also a very good option... McFee....mixed feelings.....

If you must use ssh, then scp is the way to go... But if you want to transfer files from your mac to the server, you can simply use: http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client

You could also try WINE: http://www.winehq.org/ Hope it helps

As I previously posted, I am going for a leg lengthening operation in about 3 months and am currently researching the topic....vigorously (!) It would be very much appreciated if anyone knows of a good leg lengthening book. And yes...please don't google "leg lengthening book" 'cause that is not the point (I could do that myself ;-)...) What I am looking for is for a LL book somebody actually read AND thought it was good... Lord knows there is plenty of @#$%^ out there... Very much appreciated!

In theory, you can go up to 12.2 cms with Betz Bone, but I would not even dream of going that far... After 8 cms, the recovery can be very very long. As you point out, you are not only lengthening the bone, but also "soft tissue": nerves, muscle, tendons, etc. You can distract at 1mm a day according to the Ilizarov principle, which is the one virtually all LL doctors abide to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distraction_osteogenesis http://en.wikipedia....Gavril_Ilizarov I know 1.70 m is not that short, but I wore lifts for a while and I can tell you: 7 centimeters will allow you to see the nicer side of society's face ;-)....I know it sucks, but hey, who made the rules!? :-D By the way, how tall are you?

I've been researching the Impress Nail, which uses a push button to distract. It sounds easier than the Albizzia nail, but I can't find much info on people that have leg lengthened with this device... This is their site: http://www.intramedsys.com/Patients_FAQ.htm Anybody here have any info on this? Sounds very cool, but have no idea on price??? Also would love to hear of any patients that have tried this or any of the Albizzia variants...Betz Bone or Guichet Nail... OK thanks!

HI there, I'm going to do leg lengthening in a couple of months! Anybody here that has tried this?

I am going for a leg lengthening operation, 7 cms in 3 months!! I would love to hear if there is anybody in this forum that has any experience with this type of surgery. I got a chance to visit an LL (leg lengthening) clinic and met a whole bunch of patients undergoing the treatment...I was amazed of how much this has changed through the years.... I was researching it a couple of years ago and could only find these horrible external fixators with pins and rods going through your skin and bones (horrible!!!)... Now everything is internal, they implant a nail in the bone and that's it! You distract at 1mm a day until you reach whatever height you are going for and that's it!! The recovery is a bit too long for my taste, but hey...if you are short, to go from "shortie" to normal is sooooooooooooooooo WORTH IT!!

I am 1.70 cms, but will be 1.77 cms by the end of the year.I am going to go for a leg lengthening operation...it's a bit extreme, but it takes 3 months, and voila, you are almost 3 inches taller!!!

Indeed, in some cases people loose even 2 cm by nighttime. If you have a bad night of sleep, you might not get your "original" height back until you have a good night's sleep...
