The Cult of Mac
Book Review

November 29, 2004July 25, 2011 Book Review 0

The Cult of Mac is a beautiful hard cover book with a slipcover. It has color pages throughout, and the text is clean, crisp, and easy to read. Not all books are presented in such loving detail as The Cult of Mac is. It really is a nice total package.

Microsoft and me (More or less)

November 24, 2004February 21, 2025 Opinion 0

Microsoft is a monopoly under almost any definition so why bother arguing about it. Apple on the other hand is too. No one else can make computers that run the Macintosh Operating System. Please don’t bore me with talk about PearPC until it runs at 50% of speed.

Reasons why many do NOT switch to Apple

November 18, 2004February 21, 2025 Opinion 0

First off, you must turn off your blinders. There are people out there who for whatever reason don’t like Apple. Many of these people are well educated, know computers very well, and are able to put together more than two sentences without saying “um”, “ya know”, or “like” as thought gatherers before moving on to their next topic.

Mac News Sites and Advertising – A Call To Arms

November 16, 2004February 21, 2025 MacRelevant, Opinion 0

Changes are needed on the Mac web. Mac â€œNewsâ€ sites continue to prostitute their sites to any PR firm. Mac vendors continue to ignore and sneer at the Mac web. Once great Mac sites are long gone, the victim of a problem most Mac users know nothing about. And nothing changes, no one cares, and the status quo is kept firmly in place. Or does itâ€¦?

Mac OS X Power Hound is a book full of useful things that any Mac OS X user will find helpful and worth knowing. As an expert Mac user and ex-IT manager, even I learned some nifty tricks I hadn’t known about before after reading a few pages of this book.

Newer Technology RoadTrip! FM transmitter
Review

November 12, 2004July 25, 2011 Review 0

For twenty-bucks, the RoadTrip! is a great value. If it works in your vehicle, that is. It should, but my testing was inconclusive. Rating this is not easy, as there were good and bad days using the RoadTrip!, and when it worked, it worked fine. When it didn’t, it was very frustrating.
