Small business owners who have chosen to use a Mac often wonder, “What’s the best contact manager for the Mac?” The answer, obviously, is, “It depends on your needs.” I’ll describe my situation and decision, my hope is that you might find my story helpful. I’m a retired medical doctor. I run a small business from [...] This is a brief tech note blog for my fellow Mac users. I recently connected an inexpensive monochrome laser printer (Brother HL-2070N) to one of the Ethernet (10/100 LAN) ports on my Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11n – the square one). Setup was quick and easy (Two iMacs, 1 PowerBook and 1 MacBook all [...] Has anyone ever engineered a computer software program just for you? It feels like Marketcircle did exactly that when they released version 3 of Daylite. Daylite fits my business needs perfectly. I’m told there are approximately 13,000,000 network marketers in North America. If we assume they all own a computer and we accept that Apple’s Macs make [...] When I last wrote about my use of web browsers and bookmarks in Mac OS X I was actively using Camino, Firefox, OmniWeb, Opera, Safari and testing Shiira. I’m no longer using OmniWeb, Opera and Shiira. Safari has become my primary browser. I use Firefox or Camino, in the increasingly rare circumstance, when I encounter [...] I use SuperDuper! to maintain a fully bootable backup of my iMac. A couple of weeks ago my iMac G5 decided it was tired and began to unceremoniously shut itself down. Faced with potential disaster, I simply connected my PowerBook G4 to my FireWire backup drive, booted from the external drive and continued to work [...] I’m a fickle Mac browser user. I have the latest versions of Camino, Firefox, OmniWeb, Opera, Safari and Shiira in my applications folder. Safari and Firefox get used most frequently. A couple of my browsers have half-decent bookmark management, but I have also used Bookit, del.icio.us, FURL and URL Manager Pro to synchronize my bookmarks. [...] I loved watching Joe Montana and Michael Jordan. They both have big hearts, love the game and wanted the ball in the final minutes. I prefer proven veterans to rookies. I’ve never been able to comprehend why rookies receive huge contracts. That said, I’ve just paid for TextMate even though I own version 8 of [...] My deal is to be happy and to try to help others be happier. Can computers and computer software help people live happier lives? Although the initial purchase of a computer is almost always an exciting, full-of-promise, time, I suspect that many, perhaps most, people quickly become frustrated with their new machines and eventually lose hope [...] Skype is very impressive. I enjoy making free computer to computer long distance calls. Computer to phone calls are also very inexpensive with ‘SkypeOut.’ You can even get a ‘SkypeIn’ phone number so that folks who don’t have a computer can call your computer. I’m using a Plantronics’ headset (DSP 500) plugged into a D-Link USB [...] When I was a med student I enjoyed watching the engineering students play with their punch cards; for whatever reason, these crazy guys would curse and then throw piles of their cards in the air. They did it, for me, over and over and over again. Later, I watched my father play with a little HP [...] |
