Moving and Copying behaviour in Mac OS X

Mac OS X deals with file moving and copying similarly to Windows. When you drag files/folders between folders on the same disk, they are moved, and when you drag them between different disks they are copied. On Mac OS X it is a little bit harder to change the default behaviour when you are dragging [...]

The SPB Backup for Pocket PC Review

My Treo started playing up recently, with random software crashes and some sort of battery drain. It got to the point where my Treo would only last 6hrs without any use before it would be dead. I had also just received my MacBook Pro, but I couldn’t get it to sync with it, so I [...]

The Jornada 928 Pocket PC Phone Edition Revisited

Back in the day of the Jornada 568, I remembered reading about a similar PDA called the Jornada 928 which offered about the same features and form-factor as its non-wireless enabled brother.
