I got an email from a well known computer industry publication to which I subscribe and is sometimes really useful.  They wanted recipients to spend just 15 minutes of their time to answer some questions about satisfaction with IT distribution companies.asd then they would use the responses in a story at the end of next [...]

My wife, having retiredfrom her longtime employment in the local community college wanted a new computer. (We have several in the house, of course, but she reasonably wanted one devoted strictly to her use.)
After carefully reviewing options for a modern laptop — and after Fry’s unconscionably refused to deliver a Sony they had agreed to [...]

I have been following the the anonymous troll tracker, rtolltracker.blogspot.com, for a bit. And although I still haven’t figured out what’s wrong with someone attempting to enforce a patent although he is not personally using it — I wasn’t aware there was a requirement in the Patent laws that requires you actually be making something [...]

I actually made the resolution on December 30, but it has taken until now to implement it. New Virtual Host, new WordPress software, a new theme, soon, a lovely new interface for blogging, and I’ll see if I can keep to it. At the moment I’m making plans for Legal Tech — Feb 5 - [...]

I’ve been using Google Mail for the last couple of years, but never realized that the system won’t let you send .EXE files as attachments.  (The file in question was a Flash press release for legal tech.)
 
What to do?  How about zipping the .EXE file.  Turns out that doesn’t work, either because Google understands [...]

My first personal computer was an Apple ][ --- not one of those new fashioned //C or //e machines, or even a ][+, but a plain old ][. With 48K of RAM. So it is with considerable sadness that I note the renaming of Apple Computer, Inc., dropping the "Computer" part of the name. Although [...]

The latest silly unsolicited e-mail seems to be a phishing expedition that relies on presumably very gullible Credit Union members:

Dear Federal Credit Union account holder,
This is a part of our security service measures, we regularly screen activity [...]

OK! It has been a long time since I’ve accessed this blog.  First there were back problems…then there were….but you’re really not interested in all of that, anyhow.  Sufficient to say that I slacked off, didn’t get back to it, and am, in essence picking up again, mostly about what is going on in the [...]
