It’s Been Fun, Mac, But I’m Going Back to PC
Posted by: | Comments
At the risk of incurring the wrath of Mac users everywhere, I have to stand up and admit I am going back to PC after nearly 5 years with Mac.
It was fun, interesting and a great education. I’m always up for learning new technologies. At the time I switched, I was totally frustrated with Windows. For me it was slow and problem ridden. It crashed often and gave me fits when trying to perform photo and video editing. I made a lot of money fixing Windows, but personally I couldn’t rely on PC, so I left it for Mac.
Oh, how things have changed. I have been using Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit for over a month now and I could not be more in love.

For Backup, Tarzan Like Jungle Disk!

Okay, that was a cheap attempt at humor. Especially when backing up your files is no laughing matter, but I got your attention, didn’t I?
Anyone who knows me knows that backup is one of the issues I bang my fist about on a daily basis. The number of people who do not backup their computer hard drives is frightening. There is so much to lose! Your financial information, e-mails, pictures and videos of your child’s first steps and visits to DisneyWorld, scanned documents, your recipe collection… it can all be gone in the instant your hard drive decides it just doesn’t want to take another spin. Backing up your hard drive is just as important as running an anti-virus program. It is something you should not even think twice about. Read More→

Amazon Kindle 2 & Me
Posted by: | Comments
Today I head to downtown Houston for Jury Duty. I don’t mind doing my civic duty as long as I am not bored to death waiting for all of the juries to be empaneled. In the past I have taken books, magazines and my laptop to keep myself occupied, but that was before I received an Amazon Kindle for my birthday.
When my Amazon Kindle arrived, I felt like I was holding a piece of Star Trek tech in my hands. The unit is small, light, thin and beautifully designed. It is not much bigger than a hardbound book. The screen is unbelievably sharp and crisp using a technology called electronic ink (E-Ink). This technology enables the Kindle to display a page without using battery power like with most LCD screens. The only time the Kindle uses power from the battery is when the Kindle draws (renders) a page or the wireless connectivity is on. Once a page is displayed, no power is used to maintain it. This is why it is called “ink.” Read More→
