Never implied that in any way Ron, sorry if you think I did, but if you read the zillions of posts online, out there you get people who just get so defensive as I wrote above. Thing is, I bought the imac and use the imac and relish the issues as ...

In all fairness, I can mention I had a few crashes with some programs. BoinxTV was the biggest culprit.... BoinxTV is currently having some issues with sound, etc. I do believe the problems I had in the past were due to hardware malfunctions. T...

Gordon, you may have noticed that I haven't gotten incredibly defensive or hostile. However, I will hasten to say I haven't had anywhere near the problems you've encountered. I really sympathize with you...

This is the last video in this series. In the future, I will talk about how I'm getting ready to go "all-Macintosh."

Gordon, that's just fine. In fact, I've had a very positive response to this series of videos, and this forum post. Even those who disagree have been civil. I've been very impressed.

I think we all respect that Ron, it's just a case of sidelines in the discussion happening, and people sharing their experiences in a NON FANBOY way.

Thing is Ron, the one thing I have found is how defensive mac owners get when anyone dares to suggest that their computer does actually have problems. Even when you point them to the Apple support forums, show them the posts from new and old mac u...

Catching up with my friends at Geeks

I know it's been awhile since I've actively participated here at Geeks... there are several reasons.

"Life Happens"

I've recently been privileged to receive a free "review copy" of Wirecast.

http://www.telestream.net/wire-cast/overview.htm

I use Wirecast for my weekly shows. I'm still learning.

I have created hundreds of YouTube videos, and gathered a pretty loyal, and small, following.

I've re-established conta… Continue

Hey it's been awhile.. Things are looking great!

I've been pretty busy & distracted over recent months.

I am having a live Windows 7 Launch Party on uStream, Oct 22.

I got a free copy of Windows 7 Ultimate "signature Edition!"

I got a review copy of Wirecast, thanks to my new friends over at Telestream.

I'm starting to learn how to handle Wirecast on my PC... I have a few problems... but I'll get there.

I decided my 24" iMac needed repairs.

I have AppleCare.

An on-site Technician came to my apartment, and replaced the Logic Board an… Continue

I will resume Live Shows on September 10

I watched my good friend, "G" on Granny's Gone Geek tonight.

We helped G install her new Apple Time Capsule.

I talked to a few people in the chat room. They helped persuade me to start doing live shows again.

I need some time to take care of stuff the first week of September.

I will do my first regular show at the usual time on Thursday at 8 PM.

The regular schedule will be as follows:

Thursday at 8 PM EST
Saturday at 3 PM EST

I will also look for people who are interested in doing shows… Continue

I upgraded both of my PC's today! For Free!

I watched my good friends at Compute-Ability today... I was inspired to upgrade the Power Supplies (PSU's) of both my PC's. And I did it for free!!!

I had 2 modular PSU's that were lying around.

I thought one was dead... but it's just fine.

The other has a massive main power cable that kept me from installing a DVD drive into the smaller Microfly case.

I wanted the PSU with the larger cable because it's "UV." I can see the glow through the clear computer case.

I decided I didn't need the DV… Continue

I will be changing my site soon.

My site has mainly been a "Vlog," showing all my YouTube videos.

The videos are only a small part of my "total package."

I wanted to show my artwork, and many of the thousands of family slides my Dad and I have been scanning.

I couldn't figure out the best way to handle the transition from WordPress Vlog back to a full site again.

Then a few things happened to help me find the way.

I rediscovered playlists at YouTube.

You can create a playlist of videos, then post the list itself to your w… Continue
