“I’m A Mac” Guy Dropped. “PC Guy” To Switch

Mac360
Could there be a better way to put a stick in Bill Gates’ eye than to have the country’s most memorable Windows user kiss PC’s goodbye and switch to a Mac?

Don’t tell me that’s not a brilliant idea. Will it happen? Yes, sometime between the launch of Windows Vista and the introduction of Mac OS X Leopard.

OSX ‘Zoom’ Tip

OSX ‘Zoom’ Tip
Useful if you want to quickly zoom in on a picture, document or web-page - practically anything on the screen.

If you hold down the ‘Control’ key and scroll up and down using the scroll function of your mouse or by moving two fingers on the trackpad of your iBook G4, MacBook or MacBook Pro - the screen will zoom in and out.

Digital comics on your Mac

Excelsior! Digital comics on your Mac by Jason Snell
I have a confession to make. During my formative years, I spent a huge amount of time reading comic books. I’ve still got more than a thousand of them, mostly from 1979 through 1987, in a box in my garage. Although I stopped reading comics regularly after I finished the best comic book of all time, they’ve stuck with me. And just recently I discovered that I could relive the comics of my youth — and much, much more — using my Mac.
