Apple’s Boot Camp was exciting news. I’ve watched with interest the efforts of the best programmers/hackers getting Windows on the new Intel-based iMacs and MacBook Pro. I wrote about this earlier, but as a new Mac user, I’m not sure that being able to boot Windows would be a big incentive for me personally. However, […]
Got Entourage to sync to my corp Exchange Server
I finally connected my MacBook up to our company’s Exchange Server. I found adding Mail accounts to Entourage to be a great experience. I loved how easy it was to connect my Yahoo mail account — just added my email address and Entourage took care of the rest. Exchange was a bit more work, but […]
Comfort with Windows and HP over Apple OS X and MacBook
True confession: I’m feeling a few pain points with my Mac. Like almost all my tech choices, there are hardware and software issue. In this case, most are dumb hardware issues.

Dave’s amazed…

Gleeful about my new MacBook Pro
I said I was going to do it. And I did. Tonight I added yet another computing device to the family. A sleek, silver MacBook Pro. Specs: 15.4-inch TFT display with 1440×900 resolution 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo with 2MB shared L2 Cache (1) 667MHz frontside bus 1GB (single SO-DIMM) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM 100GB 5400rpm Serial […]
Windows on Apple…What about OS X on Dell, or Lenovo, or …
It didn’t take long to get Windows to launch and run on Intel-based Apple hardware. But why are we so fascinated with technology inside small markets. It’s cool that Windows can run on the best industrial designed hardware. But we’re overlooking the OS. When will OS X run on a Lenovo ThinkPad or a Dell […]
