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. It’s complete with Tetris, Space Invaders, Googley-eyes and an After Dark screen saver. To get the full effect, you’ll need to wear an […]
Unfortunately, I’ve been out sick and haven’t been able to keep up with the Windows XP on Intel Macs thing as much as I’d like (as in, I haven’t gotten to try Boot Camp again). In my absence, Jon (in our Tech Dept.) took over the troubleshooting the inability to update the firmware on our […]
The BBC web site has a quiz on the historyof Apple. Most of the questions are pretty easy for Apple fans, though there were two that tripped me up. Questions that should have been included: How old was Steve Jobs when he was forced out of Apple? Who was the third person who launched Apple […]

(OK, I lied. I […]
On March 25th a blogger at Boakes.org wrote that he heard from a trusted source that Apple was going to celebrate its 30th birthday with an iPod which would be viewable from space. Turns out that boakes fired up Google Earth and he was able to find a viewable iPod somewhere in the wilds of […]
In honor of Apple’s 30th birthday (which is this Saturday), the San Francisco Chronicle has posted podcast interviews with some of the better known Apple-rati. I love hearing about what it was like “way back when”. I especially like hearing stories about Steve Wozniak. He just seems so approachable and real to me. The podcasts […]
iChat is a great communication tool. It allows me to reach a co-worker who’s in a different part of Small Dog’s 2 buildings without physically having to go to them. From a work perspective, it saves me a lot of time. Something else I enjoy about iChat is the use of the icons. I like […]
