I’m a Microsoft Office devotee. Sure, cloud-based apps are fine. But I like dependable, fast software right on my own computer. My life revolves fairly happily around Outlook. You can pry Excel out of my cold dead fingers. But maybe it’ll be Excel 2007 you’ll be prying away, because Office 2010’s new pricing policy has [...]

iTunes kindly notified me that it was time for yet another update today, making me again wonder why those “updates” have to be so large. Since Steve Jobs has been busy answering emails personally for many people, I figured why not, would he comment? And he did. I wrote: Hi Steve- Why do iTunes “updates” [...]

Over the years, I’ve had a number of conversations with friends concerned about how disposable (and wasteful) technology has become. Case in point — the new printer I bought for less than the price of ink cartridges. Until last week, I had three printers — a fairly modern HP all-in-one unit, a Brother laser printer and my old HP [...]

I know. A story about problems with Dell and customer support aren’t new. I know about Jeff Jarvis, his experience and the “been there, done that” feel of another blogger writing about Dell issues. But coming back from a trip and finding my recently repaired Dell desktop failing to boot as has [...]

With my desktop out of action, I’m currently on my new MacBook Pro as I’ve written, making use of its internal screen to run things on the Mac side and one of my external screens to run Windows apps. It annoys me that my two other monitors as you can see [...]
