Hello My Fellow Earthbound Buddies, 

If you’re anything like me, you’ve find yourself, from time-to-time, wondering what it would be like to travel through outer space.

Hello My Fellow Macintosh Owners,

Yes, you read it right.  As of this date, in the year of our Lord, Thursday, August 20, 2009, at precisely 8:21pm (PST), I became the owner of a brand new MacBook Pro 13-inch LED-Backlit Widescreen Notebook with a Precision Aluminum UniBody Enclosure.

I’ll see you all somewhere along the Apple Brick Road.

Hello Everyone,

Introducing Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2009

took Microsoft many tries to create the right small business accounting program, but with Microsoft Office Accounting, it has. If you need fine-tuned control over every aspect of your firmly established business, go for the $199.95 Professional version.

It’s the most capable—and traditional—free accounting software program on the market.
