UPDATE: This does not seem to work in Windows 8.  If anyone has an idea how to make this work in Windows 8, let me know.  Tkx. UPDATE 2: This did NOT work for me in Win8/64bit using iTunes 10.7.  However, since iTunes 11 came out, it works again with no addtl changes.  Can’t explain […]

Just read this morning that as of yesterday, Compuserve Classic ceased to be. That’s a major milestone for a service that had been around for a very long time. Now I didn’t realize the old Compuserve still was operational, that was a surprise. Anyway, Compuserve and I go way back. When I got my first […]

I’ve been using Pegasus Mail forever. It is my preferred email client – I believe it’s far superior in every way to most other commercial apps. Because of it’s old school method of dealing with email, it’s not subject to all the viruses and worms that plague more modern clients (hello Microsoft). Anyway, I read […]

I just today switched IM clients. For awhile now I’ve been using Trillian Pro. Been with them for awhile.

In short, it will be a way for someone to tell the camera “Hey, I don’t want my picture taken”. This is an intersting […]

I want one even more now!

Long ago in a galaxy far far away, I was an Apple user. What I consider to be a “real” Apple user. I owned an Apple ][+, then an Apple //e, and finally a IIgs. To me, when Apple invented the Mac, the soul of the company died. However, since the return of Steve Jobs […]

I spend a lot of time on the Internet, both personally and professionally. I say I’m on the net easily 10 hours a day every day (if not more). In all that time, I run into a lot of things. One of the things that has become more and more of an issue in the […]
