"Insanely Great" Happy Birthday MacIntosh

"Insanely great" Happy Birthday MacIntosh!

 This week in 1984 Steve Jobs demonstrated the first MacIntosh to 3,000 people.  "Out of the bag" the Mac debuted into a world of IBM mainframes.  As it says on the screen "never trust a computer you can't lift".  At the end of the presentation the audience went crazy.

From that day on our everyday world was changed forever.  If you were born after 1984, your life has always contianed personal computers.  Now we have laptops, notebooks, netbooks, the iPad, tablets, iPhone and Droids.  "You have come a long way baby!"

Enjoy the video of Steve Jobs introducing the MacIntosh.

Better Bookmarking With Foxmarks

Many of you may have several computers.  I have a pc at the office and a laptop for everywhere else.  One of the difficulties with this setup is the fact that I have many sites that I access frequently saved to my favorites and other sites that I want to be able to refer back to saved as bookmarks.  Often I want to go to a certain saved site only to remeber that it is saved on my other computer.  Foxmarks solves this problem.  Foxmarks is a webbased application that you download onto both of your computers.  Whenever you log into your computer your bookmarks are automatically synced.  You are also able to manage all of your bookmarks from your Foxmarks account.  In addition, if you are on aomeone else's computer, you may go to your Foxmarks account on the web and access your bookmarks from there.  I am finding this to be a very useful application: I hope it will help you out as well.
