Brother MFC-7840W Wireless Printer/FAX/Copier/Scanner »
by Glen A. I’m not one for buying multi-functioning electronic devices. I’m thinking primarily about those DVD/VCR machines, or DVD/TVs. Inevitably, one side or the other fails, and then you’re stuck with replacing it, or doing without. Not sure why it is, but such devices just don’t seem to last as long as their standalone [...]
Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse »
by Glen A. If you’ve read my rant about wires, you’ll know that I’m looking forward to the day when they all vanish. While that day is still a ways off, there are some products out there that offer wireless alternatives. Some such products which have been on the market for some time now are [...]
Bose Companion 2 Series II speakers »
By Glen A. Bose is one of the biggest names in sound technology, and I’ve wanted a set of Bose speakers for a long time. They’re among the most expensive speaker solutions to buy, however, so I’ve just never been able to bring myself to fork over the money. I was also looking for something [...]
MacMice MicFlex USB Microphone System »
By Glen A. In the previous post (see Ecamm Network iMage USB Webcam), I talked about switching Skype to my Mac mini because of issues the latest Skype update had with my Windows XP machine. I wanted a webcam that had better picture quality and a better design for easier placement. I don’t use the [...]
Ecamm Network iMage USB Webcam (Mac or Windows) »
By Glen A. With the latest update of Skype, I suddenly had problems with it on my Windows XP machine. I looked through forums and the like, trying to see if others had the same issues, but couldn’t find anything related to the update. After a few weeks of madness–it took forever to send or [...]
Seagate 750GB external HDD with FreeAgent Pro »
By Glen A. The saga of my quest to rip 200-odd DVDs into a movie library on iTunes and then stream it through my Apple TV to my Sony HDTV continues. Storage can be expensive. Not so long ago, terabyte hard drives were out of range for most consumers. Now, you can find quite a [...]
iMac 20″ 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo 1GB DDR2 RAM 250 GB SATA HDD »
By Glen A. I’ve been chronicling my quest to digitize my DVD collection and the different issues I’ve had along the way. I promised an update when I had a solution, and it appears that I am one step closer to making it a reality. I have not given up on Apple as the answer. [...]
13-inch 2.0Ghz MacBook (white) »
by Glen A. Forays into technology can be, for lack of a better way to say it, less than desirable. Angela, my wife, has a kind of cautious relationship with computers. She didn’t grow up around them, and she’s not really been in a job that’s ever required them. So, even in this day and [...]
Apple Airport Base Station Extreme Gigabit 802.11N »
By Glen A. I needed a wireless solution for my home. Our house has built in ethernet jacks in three rooms, but the router I was using started acting strange. There isn’t a whole lot, I’ve found, that you can do when those things start unraveling, so I decided I should check into replacing it. [...]
Apple 60GB 1.66GHz 1GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM Mac mini »
By Glen A. I have been an admirer of Apple computers for a long time. I find them to be innovative, elegant, and ultimately easier to use. They aren’t always perfect out of the chute, but they do get fixed, and when they do, they just work. So, why have I had only Windows-based PCs? [...]
