From Tim Pritchard:Also a quandary that I’d put to the assembled masses – after cloning an existing 10.8.2 build for mass deployment, how do you quickly and easily create the Recovery partition after the cloning? The clone only deals with the active partition and there doesn’t seem to be a simple way to create the Recovery partition on multiple machines after the fact. Anyone have a solution?
The item I’d planned to share at show & tell is the Logitech K810 Bluetooth keyboard – can be paired = with up to (3) devices simultaneously and then switch between them at the push of a function button on the keyboard – very cool.
