Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8 update

Update went smooth and quick.

I have learned from the past two Mac OS X updates to NOT use ‘Software Update’. Instead I just download the Combo update. Then after first repairing permissions, I install the update. There was no major noticeable difference after restart in performance or appearance.

Get the Combo update from Apple’s [...]

iPhone 3.0 software

Well, It took awhile to get access to download the 3.0 software. This was not completely unexpected. All done as of 6 p.m. PST.

I searched last night to find out when the 3.0 software will be available. The only time mentioned on a few sites was 6 a.m. Cupertino time. At 6 a.m. PST [...]

Mac OS X Leopard

No Mac OS X Leopard for me. I won’t be getting the new version of Mac OS X mainly due to the fact that I am still using an old Mac G4 (Quicksilver 2001). Even though I have a 1.2 Ghz G4 card installed the requirements are still on the minimum side. I don’t really [...]

Computer useage/owner history

I re-added a computer useage/owner subpage to the About page.

I have been an Apple computer user since the late 1970′s and an owner since the mid 1990′s. The first computer I used was an Apple II plus. I still own this computer, rescued from my mother’s garage. The first computer that I purchased for [...]
