Ok, you've all listened to me and requested Windows 10 and have resisted all urges to install it? Right? RIGHT?!? Ok, well most of you have. A few dared to cross me, ignoring my perceived brilliance. Some of you have even emailed me with a "What do you really know, Adam?" tone when your upgrade…

Training
One of the benefits of having a mac is that if you get stuck, you can go to the Apple Store for some training, for $99/year (but of course, based on their marketing, no one should need that!). They can do this because they make the machines, the operating system, most of the software, etc.…

Windows 8
My official opinion is it’s not horrible, but it’s not great. It’s built for a touch screen computer so using a keyboard and mouse with it is a joke.

Should you get a mac?
Macintosh Negatives – I really like the Mac. In fact, I was fortunate enough to have a Macintosh in 1984 and loved it. There are two huge negatives to switching to a Macintosh right now, 1 has to do with Blackberries and the other has to do with Activex. If you have a Blackberry phone,…

The XP “Loophole”
Microsoft has told its big resellers like Lenovo, Dell, Acer, and HP, that as of June 30th, they can not sell you a computer with XP on it. Not totally true. They can sell you a computer with Vista Business and then downgrade the license to XP Professional. So, you as a consumer have to…

Problems with Vista x64 – Positives for Costco
Although not as scary as the previous topic, but more prevalent is Microsoft Vista x64 SP1. This is the latest and “greatest” (only using the word greatest because latest and “not as good as Windows XP” doesn’t rhyme) version that has hit the streets. When Vista first came out, it was built for a 32…
