My (belated) condolences to Mr. York's family, friends and the people at Apple Inc. May he certainly rest in peace. I was surprised by Apple's mentioning the dark times of 1997...but that is neither here nor there.

Disclaimer: yes, I realize there are some out there that do, at least for a while, possibly a long while. And yes, I've made this post before, so perhaps I'm "over evangelizing" things a bit...so be it. I don't know what it is about the Time Cap…

I hate to chime in with yet another "me too" but here it goes. The music industry doesn't get it. (And this isn't the first time that Bronfman in particular has said something that showed this to be painfully true, at least for the the label he r…

First of all, if someone wants to smoke cigarettes, that's their choice. I don't, and I really don't care for it, but I don't aim to run anyone's life for them. I have enough of a time keeping myself out of trouble. I don't mind working on a compute…

I've got my reservations about the lack of an optical drive, but they're minor. In general, this looks like a really great deal for a business, probably one of medium size. I'm torn on the pricing. On the one hand, $999 for the unlimited server l…

Wow...I can remember when 3Com was the name in networking equipment. If you were at all serious about Ethernet (and to a lesser extent, Token Ring), 3Com was the equipment that you used--at least as far as network adapters were concerned. It's un…
