From RapidWeaver to WordPress

By Rob Jones "TheMacJedi" | July 25, 2008

Some tech doesn’t die quickly enough.

By Rob Jones "TheMacJedi" | October 3, 2006

As a tech support person I have to deal with a lot of software and hardware. And sometimes that tech has outlived its usefulness.

I’m talking about Mac OS 9. And why [...]
