Hello Everyone, 

The following is from a very, very smart man, David Chittenden, who posts to a mailing list that I watch.  In it, he describes the basic different between CDMA and GSM wireless technology in a more succinct manner than I would have previously thought possible.

Well Done David and Thank You,

Hello All, 

I recently purchased a La Ci portable rugged 500GB Fire Wire drive that I highly recommend.  The reviews on this device are impressive but not half so impressive as the device, itself.

Hello,

Well, the title of this post says it all.  From now until September 30, 2009, you may download what is normally a 25 USD Windows based DVD ripper for free. 

Just so we’re clear, this application allows you to rip, clone, and/or convert commercial, DRM protected, DVDs into virtually every form of popular, unprotected, format including those used on Apple and Windows Mobile portable devices.  What’s even better is that this application does it all in one step.

NOTE:

Unfortunately, this application is not accessible with Jaws Beta 11, a software screen-reading solution for the blind and low vision. However, those using software screen magnifiers such as ZoomText, will experience relatively comfortable application accessibility.

Happy Ripping,

Mark

Hello Everyone,

I hope you enjoy this approximately 55 minute episode of the 1970’s CBS Radio Mystery Theater program published here as a Candle Shore podcast.

In this episode, we learn that, as written by the great Stephen King, “What you buy is what you own; and what you own, sooner or later, will come home to you.”

Listen to this episode either on your computer, MP3 player or, as I do, on a mobile phone and always remember.

Most Sincerely,

Mark
