  • Apple's FileMaker, Inc brings back the old Claris name

    This article does not say one word about ClarisCAD. MacDraw and the DRAWING arm of the Mac was a big lure in the early days.
    Yes, I’m surprised there was no mention of ClarisCAD, I bought our first Macs in ‘89 for my small engineering company, complete with FM Pro and shortly after, ClarisCAD. It was years ahead of its time, so easy to use and powerful, such a crying shame that Apple stopped supporting it so soon afterwards, sadly like so many other good apps from Apple. Unfortunately it didn’t fit in with Apple’s future, and business demands to continually update software and future proof, which has never been Apple’s cup of tea.

    We were able to use ClarisCAD up until I retired in 2003. RIP ClarisCAD.

    What a mighty long wait! About time, hopefully now I can upgrade my old iMac.

  • DuckDuckGo's private browser for Mac enters public beta

    For many years I’ve been using start.com (previously known as “ixquick.com”), which is just as private but gives you the top search/searches in the first line or two, without dozens and dozens of similar but different results like duckduckgo.

    I’ve found it to be the most efficient search engine out there.
