This morning Apple announced Apple Remote Desktop 3 to many sysadmins’ delight, including mine. I love ARD 2.2, but it needed improvements and it was high time for an update.

For anyone longing for the good ol’ days, you can revisit life with an SE by visiting a web site, WebSE that simulates System 7 on a 9-inch black and white display.

Don Mayer and Dawn D’Angelillo discuss Don’s recent trip to Hawaii and how he was able to take underwater pictures using a camera and waterproof housing. Don, Dawn and Ed also talk about Boot Camp and the implications that lie in store for Apple.

Some of the drivers Apple includes are ones that allow for graphics, networking, audio, […]

Anyone who works at Small Dog Electronics is empowered to create product specials, which we call “wags.” I wanted to make a wag for the plethora of excellent 1.67 GHz refurb Powerbooks we have. My target price was $1969.00, in honor of the year. In 1969: Led Zeppelin released their first album – January 12 […]
We at Small Dog often find ourselves too used to Macs as we don’t use anything but (well, except for the poor guys in shipping who have to labor over elderly PCs running the UPS and DHL software… but they have G5’s to play with the rest of the time). Occasionally a new hire will […]
