[Leica] OT: Sony Sucks, big time

[r.s.taylor at comcast.net (Richard Taylor)]

Have been following this discussion and can answer this question.   I have a 
Sony Bravia and Apple TV.  My MacBook Air is running Mavericks.  I selected 
the Apple TV input on my Bravia, then clicked on the AirDrop logo in the 
toolbar on my laptop.  It turned blue.  Then I clicked on the now blue 
AirDrop logo again and selected Mirror Built in Display and, voila, instant 
mirroring on the Bravia.  

I think the absence of printed manuals for computers explains a lot of this 
difficulty.  There?s often much trial and error involved in getting things 
to work and, often, also requires consultation with someone who?s all ready 
figured it out. 

There?s lots of other stuff I don?t like about Mavericks and I think Apple 
is getting way too high handed, but at least this one is simple.   

Best, 

Dick
