A few iMac Photos

6 Mar, 2006

My iMac still in the box. Amazing packaging as always. My new iMac starting up next to my (now my wife’s) Powerbook 667. Click on the image for more details at Flickr.

Imagine my suprise when my wife’s suggestions to her PC issues was to get me a new computer and she’d take my old one. The end result was a purchase of a new iMac. It’s running the intel chip and has so many new and cool programs and features!! So far it’s wonderful and I […]

It was still there, […]

Free Google Web Site

23 Feb, 2006

Google has now started offering free web sites. That’s right, with the Google Page Creator they have a WYSIWYG HTML editor, pre-defined designs and one nice, easy to use system.

I just went through my web server and threw out a whole bunch of old files. None that should effect the workings of the website, but you never know. If you find any issues, just let me know so I can fix them. 🙂 Thanks
