About this Blog:
This blog is written for the beginning to intermediate Macintosh user. While there are many technical information sites, my purpose is to write clear solutions to common Macintosh problems with lots of illustrations to make it easy to follow along.
In my work as a consultant, I must keep my computer up-to-date, so illustrations and directions will be made from the latest version of the Mac OS X operating system.

Keep your MacBook and MacBook Pro batteries happy and healthy
The latest sales figures from Apple show that more
and more people are using a portable computer as
their primary machine.
My last four “main” computers have been Apple laptops. I bought a G3 iBook in May of 2001. It was replaced with a 15” PowerBook G4 in the fall of 2003. Then I bought a Core 2 Duo 17” MacBook Pro in late 2006. I recently purchased the new unibody 17” MacBook Pro.
During my years of ownership I have changed from a computer lab environment to being on the road every day and now to working from home.
Each setting required spending at least some time running my computer from the battery instead of from the power adapter. During some days I found myself eeking the last bits of energy out of my battery, so I have learned ways to stretch battery life to its fullest potential.
So how do you make a battery charge last longer? Click here to read more...

Capturing YouTube Videos
The emergence of a new star in the Britan’s Got
Talent show last weekend has captured the imagination

of fans everywhere and many of us want to share her
story with friends and family.
