I was a panelist on a recent edition of The Mac 20 Questions Round Table. Each of us was asked to select our favourite piece of software. As I sat in front of the microphone, awaiting my turn to speak, I frantically tried to think of what to choose and realised that I don’t have [...]

Just finished watching the Bill Gates interview on BBC2. Interesting insight into the man who changed the computer world (although that’s a matter of opinion I suppose). I was going to watch it earlier in the day (during my lunch hour) but Internet Explorer had other ideas. Sums it up really!

“Excel.exe has generated an error” was the cry from the desk behind me. “I can’t open the file and it’ll take 2 days to get a restore” Enter a knight in shining armour (or a least a shiny-screened MacBook).
