Yahoo just released their music store and it’s the latest in the string of subscription based services. Subscription based services that I just don’t get.

What’s the one application I probably can’t live without? Believe it or not, it’s TextEdit! TextEdit is just a basic text program that comes pre-installed with Mac OSX.

I’ve found two tutorials on how to add Yahoo and MSN buddies to your iChat application. It works with iChat 3 found in Mac OS 10.4.

Tiger’s First Days

  • 1 May, 2005

Now that I’ve had a day or two to play with Tiger I think it’s a great upgrade. I ended up having to do a clean install, however that was probably a blessing in disguise. Especially since I didn’t loose anything major. Overall the new OS is really nice. I’ve already seen tricks to keeping […]
