I have received a lot of questions lately revolving around which computer or laptop should I buy. Since I do have an opinion on this, I thought I’d devote this week’s posting to that topic! To start with, let’s settle the Apple vs. PC debate. I have both a PC laptop and an Apple MacBook…
Ever wish you could post to your blog without having to use your computer? The thought has occurred to me that such a capability would allow me to post more frequently. Ideas come to me frequently, but are often lost by the time I get around to actually writing. Then I discovered a nifty little…
