RedLaser puts money in your pocket

Yesterday I went shopping with my two grandsons. They had received some Best Buy gift cards as Christmas presents and those gift cards had been “burning a hole” in their pockets ever since. The oldest grandson had no trouble picking out what he wanted which was a WiFi adaptor for his xbox 360. We looked…

Review: Gorillamobile for iPhone 4

Regular readers will know that I am completely enamored of my iPhone 4. I have yet to have it let me down when I need it to do something for me. Even on AT&T’s reviled network it still performs well. (When AT&T is absent I just fire up my Sprint MiFi and connect via wifi).…

Why I returned my iPad

According to a good friend, and fellow technology aficionado, I caused hell to freeze over a few weeks ago when I bought a 64 GB 3G iPad after publicly stating that I was going to sit this one out, (https://realtytechbytes.com/why-i-am-not-buying-a-ipad/). There were a couple of really good reasons for doing this, not the least of…

Why I am not buying an iPad

Are you caught up in iPad fever? Is every one you know buying one and you are feeling left out? Well, bunky, you are not alone. I was feeling the same way, even though I had made up my mind to wait it out until the second version comes out. But the constant onslaught of…

There is not one word about the iPad in this post!

As I write this post it is Easter, so Happy Easter to those of you, like me, that celebrate it.  Since this is a day that I reserve for family, this will be a very short post. A few weeks ago (https://realtytechbytes.com/idxworth-itor-not/) I asked for your help by filling out a short survey…out of over…

My impression of MacWorld 2010 (and a deal for you!)

I went to MacWorld 2010 in San Francisco on Thursday.  This being the first year that Apple wasn’t going to be present, I wanted to see if the show would be better or worse that what I saw last year. Being a relatively new convert to Macs (and an iPhone user since July 2008) I…

True Confessions of a Windows user in a Mac World – Part Three

  In the first part of this series, I told you how I came from the PC world to the Mac world.  In the second part I told you about the “gotchas” that are part of the process.  This week I want to tell you about why it’s all worth it. Aside from the very…

True Confessions of a Windows user in a Mac World – Part Two

Last week I confessed that I am mostly a Mac guy these days and told you how that happened to me.  This week it’s only fair to tell you that the journey was not without issues, some of which are still with me. The most obvious thing that I had to deal with was learning…

True Confessions of a Windows user in a Mac World – Part One

It’s true. I am now (mostly) a Mac. I have been a Windows guy since 1986 when I bought my first PC, an IBM XT Clone. It ran DOS 3.1 and had an amber monitor. I used that computer to catapult my fledgling real estate business into the top 10% of my office within my…

“We have met the enemy and he is us”…Pogo

Aloha and greetings from Kaanapali in Maui!  I am on vacation for the next few weeks so this will not be a long post, but I did want to tell you about the Pogo Stylus. If you are an iPhone or iTouch user and have bratwurst sized fingers, as I do, then you are likely…
