Where Are They Now?

I was giving some thought about whether or not I should purchase another external hard drive, and for some reason Iomega popped into my head. Sure, they were big in the ‘90s with their Zip Drives when CD burners were too expensive for many consumers. The Zip Drive was great for its time, touting a much higher storage capacity than the floppy, at a whopping 1.44 MB, if anyone still remembers the floppy. However, when CD burners were actually becoming more affordable – on par with the cost of a Zip Drive – the tide started to change, the Zip Drive not so much.

Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac: Another Shoddy Product?

In Short: “Dude, you just got Vista-ed!”
Like many Vista users going back to XP, I went from 2008 to 2004. Office 2004 is actually faster (in my experience) and more stable than 2008. This is the Vista for the Mac — something so bad you want to downgrade. I was so quick to downgrade I didn’t take screenshots of Office 2008.

Ironically enough, I started writing this from Word 2008 for Mac and was too annoyed with the lack of speed that was in Office 2008. I was excited that Microsoft was going to be releasing a Universal Office Suite for the Mac – having used Office 2004 on an Intel-based Mac, well, doing work was nowhere near responsive as its Windows counterpart.
