01 Hindsight Software for the Apple User
Independent software developer Richard Ebbs has
introduced IfOnly 1.0, app for iPhone. Had the people who
bought the original MacIntosh 512K when it was released in
January of 1984 also spent the same amount of money on Apple
stocks, those stocks would now be worth well over $347,000
dollars. Wow! The Apple IPO was in December 1980 and at a
split-adjusted price of $2.75. It's now hovering around
$400.

04 Handy tips and tricks for OS X Lion
This article is on the TNW (The Next Web) site,
in the Apple section. ... quoting:
The general consensus on the Internet is that OS X Lion is pretty
sweet, and that may be obvious because over 1 Million of you
already downloaded it. There are however a few if not a lot of you
complaining about minor issues and I have to agree, there are a
couple of things that just feel buggy or unfinished. It could be
that those issues take a little getting used to or that they are
just plain annoying."

14 Memories: from 2006 InfoManager:
I have enjoyed seeing panoramic vistas at MacWorld Expo
taken by members of a QuickTime VR group. Here is a web site
that truly uses the technology in a beautiful way showing a
number of locations around the city of Paris. (France, not
Texas.)

I wanted to live.
Now I live my dreams, and I spend my nights sleeping."

In every defeat is a lesson showing you how to
win the victory next time."
