    There is this myth that Mac Experts never have problems with their computers. I can tell you this is a total myth because I’m currently reloading the OS on my Macbook Pro. So why do computer techs never seen to have problems with their computers. I’m going to talk about a few of those reasons…

  • The case of the Time Machine backup that was out of time.

    Now and then a customer will bring me an interesting case. Something that I have to actually think about instead of knowing the solution off the top of my head. This is where having an understanding of how OSX operates and a good sense of logic comes in. The case of the Time Machine backup…

  • OSX App Review: KeyPad

    When I worked for Apple it was against my contract to do any App reviews. Even giving any kind of star rating using my personal account made me a little nervous. So I have avoided doing OSX App Review at all together for the past 15 years. That is about to change. As I have…
