Oh heck, no! Not my tree icon! I change all my folders on my desktop to the trees so it looks like I have a little forest. Been doing that for the past twenty years or so. I’m going to miss that little pixely tree.

I should have lead with “nice review” on that comment. Where are my manners?

As a Mac user for a long time, I see more and more of these “PC” companies killing it with specs, but I’m hesitant to get one because of Windows. My last experience with Windows was 7, which in my eyes just didn’t hold up to the reliability and smoothness of working in Mac OS X. What’s the state of things now? With… Read more

Minor suggestion: Could we get a model number confirmation and a spec dump in the “What is it?” box on reviews? While most of this info is in the body of the review, but it would be great for an “at a glance” reference to be set all neat in a spec dump.

The direction of Apple for a long while now just continues to confirm why I’ve never felt like they make computers aimed at me. I’ve had big clunky laptops when I needed to travel but always wanted to play video games on my computer. I’ve got a big glowy desktop right next to me now. What I’ve never needed though is… Read more

My cats are slowly becoming the most spoiled, high-tech pets in the neighborhood. Read more

My brat Bengal goes in the tub and howls until I put the water on at a drip and the white mutt only drinks from a glass on the coffee table.
