“Larry Bodine” on job security, slam the competition to your clients.

By Rob Jones "TheMacJedi" | October 16, 2006

There is an article by a technology advisor about his use of a new Mac. The article is riddled with false statements and ignorance.
There have already been some good responses denouncing his article.
One thing that isn’t mentioned is that this guy is probably some kind of PC guru. So why slam the Mac? Job security.

Memories of an old Japanimation movie, Galaxy Express.

By Rob Jones "TheMacJedi" | October 16, 2006

I have these very old memories of a movie I watched when I was 9-12 (1981-1984).

Some tech doesn’t die quickly enough.

That’s a bright screen. MacBook Pros and Cons. UPDATED

By Rob Jones "TheMacJedi" | October 1, 2006

As with most “Revision A” hardware, consumers find the bugs and “Revision B and so on” benefit from our finds.
