There is a School

June 23, 2003May 28, 2011 Opinion 0

There is a school, which spans every state in the United States of America. The school has been around for a long, long time. It brings in millions of dollars, and is rumored to have over a billion or more in the bank….

X5150 Multi-Function Printer
Review

June 19, 2003May 28, 2011 printer, Review, Scanner 0

The X5150 is a multi-function printer, scanner, and copier. It connects to your Mac or PC via USB, and comes in an attractive silver and black plastic case. The physical look of the printer is very elegant, though I do wish it came in an iMac inspired white or, better, a clear plastic.

The iPodDock simply plugs into your Mac via the FireWire port. Your iPod plugs into the top of the iPodDock. What could be simpler? Well, for starters, it is no easy task to fit the iPod into the top of the iPodDock.

For graphic designers, accurate color output is a must. While many home Mac users are fine with an inexpensive ink-jet printer, designers need a post-script printer, good color-management tools, and reliable printing. Enter the DesignJet 10ps, a true post-script six color 2400 x 1200 dpi, and is touted by Hp to be able to reproduce 90% of the pantone color library.

Not many people are aware of this, but the Federal Communications Commission (The FCC, for those of us who love our acronyms) has set a November 24 deadline for a rule that would allow you to keep your cell phone number, even if you switch cell phone companies. More, you will even be able to carry your land-based phone number over to a wireless company.

I-VOLUTION for 20GB iPod
Review

April 15, 2003January 24, 2011 Cases, iPod, Review 0

I really do enjoy my 20GB iPod, and I really do want the best for it. When it comes to cases, I want something that feels as well built and sturdy as the iPod itself. I recently reviewed the FlipStand iPod case, and while I liked the plastic case / stand, it would be unfair for me to compare that unit with the Vaja case.

Random Thoughts

Have you noticed some Mac sites that really do nothing more than talk about how many hits they get? Is that as boring to you as it is to me? Or how long they have been publishing. Or how many “pages” they have on their site. Yawn…

FlipStand
Review

March 26, 2003January 24, 2011 Cases, iPod, Review 0

I love my iPod, but I am going crazy worrying about damaging the thing. Really, when you spend almost five hundred bucks for a little thing to play music on, you tend to be a bit over-protective. So one of the things I wanted to do was upgrade the 20GB iPod’s case, something better than the cheap sleeve Apple ships with the unit.

PodHolder
Review

March 19, 2003January 24, 2011 iPod, Review, Stand 0

At $15.95 the Pod Holder fills a niche for desktop users wanting to keep their iPod within easy reach while retaining the easy functionality of the iPod. I’ve noticed many of the cases on the market seem cheaply made and a little “clunky” in the real world use department.

Altec Lansing 2100 Speakers
Review

February 14, 2003February 13, 2016 Review, Speakers 0

My first impression upon seeing the 2100 series speaker from Altec Lansing was “sweet!” Yes, I like the look of these speakers, but looks are but one of the many important factors into making your decision on what speakers to buy.

Monsoon PlanarMedia 9

It has been a few years since I purchased my Monsoon MM1000 three-piece speaker system. In all that time, I have been more than happy with them. In fact, I always use them as the benchmark of good speakers. When I listen to other speakers, I always ask myself “are they better sounding than my Monsoon’s”. Happily, after two-plus years, the answer is still a resounding no.
