The Week that kinda never was.

The 4th of July falls on Wednesday this year and that means a lot of people actually taking the whole week off. This certainly affects how things are in the United States. One thing I can say is that this week has not been a busy week.

I managed to get things done here at the office. Reinstalling OS X Lion and Windows 7 on various computers.

I am looking forward to the 4th of July celebration with good friends and my camera. I hope to take a lot of pictures.

Come Thursday, we all will try to get back to our regularly scheduled working life.

Countdown to MobileMe Extinction, T-Minus 22 Days.

Depends on how you see it, you either have 22 days or 21 days left until MobileMe ends on June 30th, 2011.

To use iCloud you need at least OS X Lion or iOS 5. One main reasons people stay with Mac OS X Snow Leopard is the applications. OS X Lion no longer supports Rosetta application. That means you have to upgrade the applications before making the move to OS X Lion.
