How can I try out Mac OSX on my Windows or Linux machine and a little Simpsons Rant!

We just came across a cool site here:

http://www.se51.net/index.php?page=mercury/

that will let you try out Mac OSX. Its sort of like a basic demo allowing for Web browsing and emailing. The best part of all is this was created by a non-apple employee. Yup a fan boy and it looks pretty good.

Just make sure you don’t use Internet Exploer to view it! HA!

BTW: Totally off topic has any one else heard that they made a bunch of 7-11′s into Kwik-E-Marts from The Simpsons? Ohh Yeah its a promo for the upcomming movie and there is one on 42nd street in Manhattan.

I have a half-a-day today seeming tomorrow is the 4th (I hate mid-week holidays) so guess where I’m going. If anyone has any interest in it – I am taking my camera with me!

Mac Tip: Get information on that downloaded file.

I don’t know about you sometimes we find files that were downloaded weeks ago and wonder where they came them. Usually on my PC I just shrug my shoulders open it up and see. Well, it turns out that OS X has this little known feature built-in. You just have to select the file and…

Christmas MAC Commercial

Have you seen the latest commercial from Apple for the Mac? It is the same PC versus Mac concept except the characters look like they are straight out of the “Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer” animated classic. I am not a Mac user, but I know a lot of you are out there are. Either…
