(Say that title 5 times fast.)
I am very picky about the hardware I use. I’m on the computer a lot of the day developing websites, and I won’t settle for a keyboard / mouse setup that is not comfortable and responsive.
(95% of the reason I switched to Mac was due to the keyboard on the [...]

A good shopping list for a gaming computer
I came across this Maximum PC article on Digg, It’s a great reference to what’s needed to build a computer tower ready for gaming.

Laptop for the Mom on the go
Mothers Day is coming up here, could she use a new computer?
Netbooks (net not note) are smaller notebooks. The screens are usually 10 inch or less. The don’t pack the punch that a larger laptop does. So this won’t replace the computer that handles all the family videos.
However, they also are very mobile and can [...]

DoubleCommand to customize the keyboard in Mac
When I switched from PC to Mac, the single hardest thing I had adjusting to was the new keyboard shortcuts. At the top of the list was the Home/End keys, they never worked quite right.
I quickly adjusted to using Command-Left or Command-Right, and it even became natural, and since I was on a 15 inch [...]
