Ehhh, no big deal, it’s only email.  Right?  Not so fast.  On one hand it’s true that email is not quite rocket science and is a well established internet technology. Yet not all platforms handle, or save it, the same.  Fortunately in my case I was using Eudora on my PCs which stored email in a much more friendly ascii text type of file rather than a .dat file or some other proprietary format.

Having been a PC/Windows user since the early days of Windows 3.1, I had built a substantial investment not only in dollars but in time spent learning my way around the enormous collection of software I had.  I did everything from email to word processing to web development (including graphics) to personal and business finances.  I pondered switching to Mac for a very long time before finally taking the plunge. more »

I know, I know.  What’s the point right?  If I’m not going to write why not kill this?  I’d guess anyone that ever did read has long since stopped checking for updates by now.  Well, life, you know, happens.  You get busy.  And in the case of this blog, I couldn’t decide what to do with it.  As much as I love movies, and still watch often, my interest in continuing posting reviews has waned.  After all movie reviews can be had in many places on the net.  Politics, yes I still have strong opinions there, but again there’s no shortage of political rants and opinions online.  I may still post an occasional quick review or political yammering here should something really grab me (which is becoming quite infrequent), but I think I’m going to refocus.

My journey into Mac-dom is nearly 3 years old now.  Along the way I’ve learned a lot and have discovered a lot of really great software.  For the time being I think I’m going to focus on that.  Sort of shift into a Mac tech blog, yet from perhaps more of a user perspective.  We’ll see.  Of course there are sites doing that but not nearly as many.  And some just simply don’t cover things I want to know.  So perhaps there are others out there in this same boat.  I may still also toss in some music related posts here and there.  Write about your passions, right?

And so, on with the… ummm… show?

Sections of the Internet went down this morning.  Because Google did. more »
