October 27th, 2007 — Apple
Well, it had to happen sooner or later. My five and half year old 800 MHz G4 PowerBook finally shut down for the last time. It’s now in the barn - in pieces, ready to go to the recycling people. The timing is almost perfect - I hope to order a new MacBook Pro next week. Until then, I’ve kindly been allowed to set up an account on my wife’s computer :).
Oh, and if you don’t get the banana reference…

October 8th, 2007 — Apple, Applecare, Tech Support
PC Magazine has their latest reader survey out. As they say,
“What’s left to say? If you buy a Mac, not only will you in all likelihood love it, but you’re also going to recommend it to your friends while enjoying all the time you can spend not fixing it.”
And, should something go wrong with your Mac, you can at least know that their Tech Support and repair service rate higher than anyone else.
As always, I recommend Applecare to extend your 1 year warranty to 3 - it’s well worth it.
October 6th, 2007 — Leopard, Server
It looks like the latest rumors are that Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) will be released on or around October 26. If you’ve been thinking of purchasing products like Mac OS X Server Maintenance you will want to do so before the shipping date is officially announced.
