Clearly Vista users are rather miffed about Vista and battery life problems I almost feel like I should create a category just for this one issue.
Just yesterday I told you about turning off the Aero theme to give you a boost. But what if you like the Aero theme when you’re plugged in? […]
As I talked about last week, laptop users are complaining that Vista is draining their batteries much faster than XP ever did. The Aero features seem to be the culprit, but I’ve learned a bit more about Aero recently. It turns out that just turning off the fancy features isn’t enough, you have […]
How many of you use PDF? Good. Okay, how many of you have laptops? Lots I bet. Laptops are out selling desktops now so lots more out there than in the past. Did you know, however, that in Acrobat Reader the default font smoothing is for regular monitors? Yeah […]

Man I’ve been dying to blog about this for over a month. I’ve been in the private beta test of the new MindManager 7 Pro. If you’re a MM fan, this is a good upgrade. Must upgrade? If you use Office 2007, I’d say yeah.
