I’m a Happier Person, Thanks to My Mac

I’m a Happier Person, Thanks to My Mac

by Ben Saren on Sep Wed, 2009 in Music, Pop Culture

No, seriously. I can honestly say that I’m a happier human being because of my MacBook Pro. My entire life I’ve been very into art, music, and especially the digital forms of those things.

Mossberg Likes Leopard, But I’m a Windows Guy, I think.

by Ben Saren on Oct Thu, 2007 in Computers

So Mossberg digs Leopard, and the review is pretty cool. I gotta tell you, I have an IBM ThinkPad (OK, Lenovo ThinkPad), and it came with Vista preinstalled. For the most part, Vista is OK. No real complaints, but nothing to really rave about either. I also have Office 2007, which I really love. But [...]
