    Made In Usa

    Economies, industry and competition are always changing. 150 years ago, the US textile industry was booming. The US started out as a country with cheap labor and "took" jobs away from European countries like the UK. We prospered, standards of living increased, and our economy and markets...

    Macintosh Community vs. PC Community

    I had a little reunion for a wedding up in Dallas a couple weekends ago where i met a good friend and college roommate that now works for Microsoft. It's so strange. In college, he couldn't stop pulling jokes on Bill Gates and Microsoft ... now, it's scary that he even jokes around in an...

    waiting for Rita to come and go

    thanks for your prayers. I hope people are okay in Lake Charles. They got the dirty side of the hurricane. Here, it's sunny and warm. Who would have known this was supposed to be hurricane weekend? I'm glad i'm not one of 2+ million people trying to drive back into Houston. Baton Rouge is...

    waiting for Rita to come and go

    I'm just kinda bored right now. I'm in Sugar Land which is SW of Houston. Looks like we'll miss the brunt of the hurricane which is a blessing. We'll still get 60 mph winds probably. The news is the same on every channel and radio station. I have water and food prepared for about 3-5 days...

    I discovered a new feature with OS X printing!

    I don't know if anybody else has discovered and used this option but did you all know that you can drag and drop a print job from one printer to the other?? That's just wonderful. I ran out of ink on my deskjet 3320 so my job stopped. When I got to work, I just drag and dropped it to another...

    I've been volunteering at the Astrodome and the immense scale of operations is just amazing. I got to direct bus traffic Saturday night. Last night, I helped input evacuee information into www.familymessages.org. That's the official site that's being supported by the Red Cross now. Earlier...

    Best wishes & luck to any New Orleans members...

    my heart and prayers go out to those affected by the hurricane. i've been glued to the TV and news websites. It's just really awful there. They've evacuate the remaining 50,000-100,000 people in NO. Then, they've got to plug the breached levees. Then they got to get power to the pumps, and...

    warranty vs applecare

    if you get Applecare make sure it's Applecare by Apple. I accidentally bought extended warranty from maczone that was not by Apple but by a Servicenet (sp?) company. I was not happy to find out months later when I had a problem that it was not Apple's Applecare and I was not satisfied with...

    Hardcore upgrade question

    Sorry I can't answer your question but I've done a similar upgrade. I had a gigabit ethernet G4 400 mhz upgraded to a 1 Ghz G4 from Giga. It runs pretty well but it's a little noisier with an extra fan on the processor. What is a MDD G4? Some processing may not benefit with the...

    We need to get a server..XServe or just plain desktop?

    I would be interested in knowing what you decide on too. I just purchased a Powermac G5 2 ghz for the server running Panther. It's more of a file and database server only. We've about the same number of PCs and Macs connected to it as well. It feels a little slow with the filemaker database.

    Implications why Cell doesn't cut it for Apple

    Here's an interesting article on Anandtech about the Cell processor performance in the Xbox and PS3. It doesn't mention anything about Apple or the next generation Apple processors. But i think it has a lot of implications why Steve Jobs left IBM's Cell design...

    More New iBook Musing

    if you're lucky, you can check with a Apple retail store to see if they have an older model in stock right after the new ones are released. that's how i bought a demo model of a dual 2 Ghz G5 Powermac for $1400.
