By Phyllis Evans On March 12, 2013 · 2 Comments
There was a discussion recently on the MacGroup iBBS about failing optical drives and whether to repair or replace. The general opinion? IF you have a Mac that is easy to get into and you aren’t afraid to tinker, then by all means,  replace. If, on the other hand, you have one that is tough [...]

Comin’ Home

By Jack Beckman On March 6, 2013 · Add Comment
I just started working from home recently, going into the office only once a week or so (unlike the unfortunate telecommuters at Yahoo! who are are being dragged back into the office).
