With our new laptop and wireless router, my wife and I decided it was time to move our DSL modem off of the floor and onto the desk with the router. Unfortunately, our AT&T issue line from the phone jack to the modem was justthisshort of making the mark. So, I bought a 25ft CAT-5 [...]

I promised a post on my thoughts about our MacBook, but the last few weeks have been a blur so I’m just now getting around to it.
My first impression is that I’m amazed that everything just works. It’s part of having the hardware and software built to work together from the beginning. Apple doesn’t have [...]

Don’t overthink this purchase or let gadget lust get the better of you. Any of the phones currently out there will do wireless e-mail and Outlook synchronization. It’s mostly a matter of form and whether you need a full QWERTY keyboard or a touch screen. There’s no need to learn what GSM stands for and who has it. Just pick your phone and love it. Oh, and know that a better phone will come out next month, it’s just the way it works.
