FileMake Pro
Do you use any type of database? The de facto database program for the Mac has always been FileMaker Pro. I have used it off and on for years. I wouldn’t say I was an expert with it, but I can do a pretty decent database when I need to.
It’s All About Image
Well, we finally had our first Windows XP debacle. As you know I am running VMWare Fusion on my iMac. I have Windows XP service pack whatever installed. The other day my wife tried to open XP to work with her sewing program and it just came up all black. Is that bizarre or what!
Apple Computer
My wife and I just returned from visiting our grandkids in California. While we were out there we spent one day doing some touring. We managed to get by Apple Computer Headquarters in Cupertino. I lived in the Bay Area for many years, but had never been there. It was a beautiful day and a fun excursion.
Typical Leopard Install
Today I did a “typical Leopard install” on a MacBook Pro. The client was running Tiger and had become aware of the coolness of Leopard. He wanted Leopard installed before going on vacation.
MacSuperstore

MobileMe
Just a quick note about my MobileMe account. I have had a lot of grief with it over the past few weeks. It seems to be running fine now, but it has had it’s up’s and it’s down’s.
iPhone Web Design
With all the hoopla about the 3G iPhone and the iTunes App Store I have been thinking about the design of some of my web sites. My main design app, Freeway, just released a version with some updates pertaining to how the iPhone displays web pages.
iMac RAM
I have been planning to max out my iMac to 4GB of RAM sometime along the way. Now seemed like a good time to go ahead with it. I logged onto Other World Computing (OWC) and bought two 2GB RAM chips. We have been using OWC RAM at my work for the past two years without any problems.
