I try an experiment to see if I can stay productive without Microsoft Word. Last week, in an effort to get my old 12″ PowerBook to run more efficiently, I decided to wipe the hard disk clean and reinstall Tiger with a clean install. After installing it, I got a little crazy and decided to upgrade Continue reading A Computer without Word? November 10th, 2007
Do you really need it? I installed Leopard on my aging but otherwise faithful 12″ PowerBook G4 yesterday. I hadn’t planned on updating it because I didn’t think it had enough processing power to handle the new OS. But it met Mac OS X 10.5 requirements, so I figured, what the heck? I could always bring Continue reading Leopard Tip: Delete the All Documents Search November 2nd, 2007
My 5th generation iPod turns up its nose at my new iMac; later they become friends. If you’ve been following this blog, you might remember that I recently replaced my Dual G5 Power Mac — currently available on eBay! — with a 24″ iMac. This was a big splurge for me, but one that I truly Continue reading New iPod Woes Solved October 28th, 2007
An excerpt from Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger: Visual QuickStart Guide. With Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Apple has finally phased out Mac OS 9. The Classic Environment, which enabled you to run Mac OS 9.2.2 from within Mac OS X is no longer supported in Leopard. Don’t whine! Let’s face it — Mac OS X has Continue reading Mac OS X Tiger: Classic Chapter October 27th, 2007
An excerpt from Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger: Visual QuickStart Guide. In an effort to trim some fat from my Mac OS X book for its Leopard revision, we decided to cut the existing Unix chapter from the Tiger book. This freed up 44 pages for new material about Leopard’s new features. But there’s nothing wrong with Continue reading Mac OS X Tiger: Unix Chapter October 16th, 2007
I see the difference with a wireless Mighty Mouse. I’ve been using a dual G5 computer for about 4 years now. Just this week, I finally set up its replacement, a 24″ iMac. At least six months ago, I treated myself to a wireless Mighty Mouse. I knew I needed to write about it for my upcoming Continue reading Bluetooth Adapters not the Same as Built-in Bluetooth October 15th, 2007
I finally buy a new production Mac. Back in September, about three weeks ago, faced with the prospect of having to burn a dual-layer DVD — which none of my current computers could do — I finally broke down and bought a new production Mac: a 24″ iMac. I bought the computer at the Apple Store at Continue reading A New Mac October 1st, 2007

Three Computers, Three Leopard Installs
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 see that the
