All too soon, horrible apparitions will arise from their assorted crypts and demand your notice. Pay them no mind - there are much more important matters to attend to than election day. Things like preparing for Halloween with ceremonial pumpkin lobotomies.
To get you in the mood for the night of sugar-collecting little monsters, we’re bringing [...]

Outraged By The State Of Adelphia? Get In The Queue!

This was the week that my senior clients were permitted to experience the decline and fall of western civilization. The troubles started over the weekend. Well, really they started much earlier than that. They started when the management and owners of Adelphia made certain decisions that ultimately led to its going into bankruptcy and being [...]

PCs Are Too Big

As I sit here and look at my tower PC, I can’t help but think the thought… the average PC is just too darned big (and way too loud). My old Pentium 4 monolith eats up an inordinate amount of desk space. There’s a ton of space inside the case that I’ve never used. I’ve [...]
