Trying to switch… Part Trés

Embracing FileMakerPro I’m adjusting easily to doing e-mail and general stuff on the mac, but now is the bonus round, the business stuff.

Trying to switch…

Trying to make the PC -> Mac switch and hitting some snags I’m fairly platform agnostic. My first computer was a TI-99/4A, which was followed by a Mac SE, then a Powerbook 100, then a half dozen different PCs. I develop software for a living and have done so for IRIX, linux, Windows 95, 98, [...]

Tom DeLay gets caught again

I can’t believe this guy is still in a position of power! The Raw Story has broken another amazingly shocking scandal featuring Tom DeLay.
