It’s a go!

Finally felt well enough today to make the trip out to the Apple Store with Angela to look into getting her eMac. We get there and take a look at the one model of eMac that they have, which was basically what she wanted with some customizations, like upgrading the RAM and installing the Airport card. Turns out that if you want any customizations done to the model, you have to order it online. They don’t do any in-store customizations? Sorry, but that’s lame. I could expect that from a Best Buy or CompUSA store, but from an Apple Store? They do have free classes though, so Angela and I might drop in for one of those sessions to get familiar with using it. We may not actually learn anything, but it’s free so it’s worth the time to try it out.

Anyway, we ordered the Mac and it should be ready to ship in 3-5 days!

    This story is an interesting look at the anti-spam “challenge-response” technique, which is now being offered to all Earthlink customers. I think it raises good points, especially when it comes to mailing lists being inundated with challenges. Personally, if I’m on a mailing list and I get a challenge from one of the members of…

    This looks interesting: We’re calling it Dabble, with emphasis on the Db: it’s a database system for dabblers. We’d naturally be happy if professional developers, DBAs, and business analysts find our system useful, but we won’t be satisfied until we have something that works for everyone in the millions of small businesses and teams for…
