I’m always on the lookout for good, free software. This week I’ve found xPad. It used to be shareware but is now freeware! A lot of my time is spent typing and taking notes for various reasons and so I am always looking for good text editor. I usually pass on Microsoft Office and those…

Here are my personal top five reasons why Macs justify their price: 1. Quality. Apple desktop and laptop computers are rated #1 by Consumer Reports for repair history, tech support, and consumer satisfaction. Apple leads all other reviewed computer manufactures, including Sony, Dell, and HP in all those categories. All computers can and will have…

We just got the orange iPod Shuffle in-stock! This is the one new color to the line-up. This is the one color that I think I would actually buy. It’s a new, fresh color! Which color do you like the most from the new colored Shuffles?! iPod shuffle 1GB Orange (2007)! Check out all of…

Just this past fall I went to Channel Camp, which is an Apple seminar. I went with Morgan and he brought along his Newton and used it for many things like the calendar feature (gotta make sure we got up in time for classes), the note-taking features and the to-do lists. I was very interested…

Finally after 5 long years Windows Vista was released to consumers. Many claimed that it was a copycat of Apple’s OS X. Bill Gates recently did an interview with CNN and talked about how parental controls, editing movies (specifically high definition), and working with photos were somethings that had never been done before.

I am not sure why but the amount of fake iPods we’ve been seeing is rising. Yet another customer brought in a fake iPod. I don’t know how many more times I can say this but, PLEASE purchase from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller. It may appear that you’re getting a great deal on…
