35 years ago (!), I bought my first Macintosh computer. Well, actually, it wasn’t a Mac. It was an Atari ST520. I had grandiose visions of a Mac, but the price was a little outside my budget at the time (I mean I was only 24). I had recently started my business, Desktop Consulting Services (which would eventually become TeKno Ziz), and needed a computer....

At the beginning of June 2020, I backed a new product on Kickstarter from Huami Amazfit. I finally received the promised product, the Amazfit X smart watch. It’s no Apple Watch for sure, and you know, I’m ok with that. I was a watch wearer for many, many years. Probably many of you from my generation (queue The Who here) were too....

I was inspired by web window shopping and seeing all the YouTube bloggers decked out with what they call “racing chairs” – gaming chairs tricked out like a formula one car seat. [ 671 more words ]

Oh, the drama. Have you installed the newest Mac OS? Here’s what I have to say about it.

Catalina on a Hot Tin RoofFeb 16, 2020 I installed the newest Mac OS two days ago on my iMac after a very uncharacteristic delay. I mean, not being able to run 32-bit applications?

OS X Mohave is out. Huzzah. Wow, more emoticons and dark mode, a new preview mode for files, a few interface bells and whistles. Warnings about 32-bit applications. Blech. I don't think I’ve come across a less practically useful upgrade. Yes, it’s free. And yes, I’ve upgraded already. But seriously, where are the speed improvements?
