I tried on my old standby Mac at home (an old G3 Blue and White running OS 10.2.8). I had to first connect to the MSU Virtual Private Network, but once I logged on to the VPN, I was able to Connect to Server and mount the volume I’ve been after. Now, to see if…

Coming soon? Dual-boot, Mac & Win
So all this talk about Apple moving its OS to x86 processors makes me think that at some point down the road, we’ll be able to buy a system from Apple (because they won’t officially permit the OS to run on just any computer – not that hacks aren’t already running) that has OS 10.5…

Down like Rumplestiltskin.
You know when you lie back to take a little rest and you wake up eight hours later? That was me, last night. I finally had the girls in bed, and I wanted to get some laundry going and do some client related work. But, I was really feeling a little groggy. So, I laid…

Bears! Oh my.
I was at RiteAid this evening picking up some cold and flu medicine for Chey, and the woman at the register warned me to be on the lookout for a bear. Yes, a bear. It turns out there was a bear down by Saginaw and Creyts Rd., which is not all that far from the…
