  Windows Rant of the Day — Screenshots

  04.10.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  I’ll be the first to admit that I’m spoiled by the Mac OS, and making a screenshot on the Mac is just one of many places where the Mac shines and the PC… um… doesn’t. For just about forever on the Mac, to take a screenshot of what’s in front of you, all you’d need […]

  An Oversight

  02.14.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  Whoops. I just realized I overlooked something on my site that shouldn’t have been overlooked.
  The site is named davintosh — my name is Dave and I work with Macintoshes; davintosh. Ok, so it’s a little corny and I’m even embarrassed to tell my wife about it. Sue me.
  Anyway, as I was writing the […]

  iMac Disassembly

  01.21.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  One night a while back, Yvonne was working on a jigsaw puzzle upstairs while I was working on an iMac downstairs — swapping out the power supply I think. At one point in the evening she walked by me and my project and said something like, “Who needs jigsaw puzzles when you’ve got 3-D puzzles […]

  Windows Rant Of The Day - Num Lock

  12.15.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  I’m a Mac guy. I cut my teeth on Macs back in the early ’90’s, have worked in prepress since then, and with the exception of an Amstrad Word Processor and an IBM PC/XT, have had nothing but Macs at home. At work I have the distinct and dubious privilege of providing support for both […]

  PowWeb: My New Home

  07.02.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  Aaaaahhhhh….. That’s the contented sound of me being happy that things are transferred (mostly) to my new web host (www.powweb.com), and things are working. My web presence is pretty minimal, so the headaches were pretty minimal, but headaches there were. But all in all, pretty painless.
  I came to the point where I had to dump the old web […]

  It’s A Mac, not a MAC!

  06.10.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  One of my pet peeves is when people refer to Macintosh computers, or Mac OS computers, or anything else Apple- or Macintosh-related as “MAC”. It happens way, way too often, most often with people who ought to know better.A good example is found on Sioux Falls’ own KELO.com website, where they make use of an […]

  Happy 30th Birthday To The Apple II!

  06.05.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  It was June 5, 1977 that Apple released the Apple II for retail sale.
  The first Apple II computers went on sale on June 5, 1977 with a MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor running at 1 MHz, 4 KB of RAM, an audio cassette interface for loading programs and storing data, and the Integer BASIC programming language […]

  It’s a Small World (and getting smaller)

  02.20.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  I just discovered Skype, and am really, really impressed with how that works, and it’s potential. Skype has been around for a while, but not many people know about it or what it can do for them. It’s an Internet-based telephone system that offers free worldwide computer-to-computer calls. That’s F*R*E*E!
  It’s a really great service, and […]

  Spammers: Get a Clue and Take a Friggin Hike!

  07.12.06 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  This little blog sits out here on the World Wide Web and gets maybe a couple-dozen visitors in a good week. (check the Site Meter stats.) But even though hardly anybody visits here, some spammer has decided that my site is a good mark for advertising all kinds of things that don’t even deserve […]

  The Apple Theme Song

  03.29.06 | Permalink | Comment?

  I had no idea that Apple had their own Theme Song. After watching the video of it, I kinda wish I didn’t know it.
  It’s a bit like a train wreck; you can’t look away, but you want to scrub the images from your memory afterwards.

What’s a davintosh?

Welcome to davintosh. I write about anything that strikes my fancy; no guarantee that you'll find it interesting, or that you'll agree with me, or that you'll be entertained. Not that I don't care. I just don't read minds. It'd be great if you'd leave a comment to let me know you were here.
