I install Leopard on the last of my three Macs. Today I did something I didn’t think I’d do: I installed Leopard on my 12″ PowerBook G4. I wasn’t planning on it. I didn’t think the G4 was beefy enough to run Leopard. But when I checked the system requirements, I was pleased to Continue reading Three Computers, Three Leopard Installs August 18th, 2007

In preparation for writing a book about Leopard while I still had Continue reading Choosing Your Mac OS Startup Disk on the Fly April 3rd, 2007
That’s book number 68. I put the finishing touches on Microsoft Office Excel 2007: Visual QuickStart Guide. It’s my 68th book (I just counted) and right now, I feel as if I wrote them all yesterday. Okay, so not that tired. I had some trouble with this book. First, there was the beta Continue reading Excel Book Done March 13th, 2007
A shortcut with good results. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been banging away at an iDVD project. The goal is to show still images from my helicopter tours and excursions as slide shows with music. I’m rather picky about these things and decided that I wanted to use the Ken Burns effect with Continue reading Creating a Slide Show for iDVD February 24th, 2007
I try out two wireless mice and have a clear winner. Continue reading Mouse Wars: Microsoft vs. Logitech February 9th, 2007

As my sick dual G5′s hard disk churns away for the seventh straight day of data recovery efforts using TechTool Pro and I start work on my Leopard book, I have come to realize that I’m going to need a new desktop Mac before year-end. Probably Continue reading I Need a New Mac |
