CHRIS' TECH TIPS
After 30yrs in the computer business, I have a lot of opinons on what I believe computers should be doing in our businesses and in our homes and HOW they should be doing it!  So many of our friends and clients constantly ask about why their computers are either not working correctly or what they should buy and when.

Depending on your personality, time and just plain preference, your needs in a computer will be similar to a car. You'll choose either automatic or stick-shift. I see the Windows operating system as the "stick-shift" and MAC OS as the "automatic." Notice that I'm talking about operating systems and not the hardware since now the Apple computers can run the Windows OS.

Stay tuned to our newsletters and this web page as I discuss this more in detail to help you make informed computer purchases.

I decided that this page would be a great place to gather all of that information together.

Here at City NewsCasts, I do maintain a network of both MAC OS X Apple computers and Windows PCs that share diskspace, printers and my wireless network. 

 
Also, on my page, I'll not only let you know you what to buy, but give you the opportunity to purchase my personal favorites right here.
 
Please come back often for help and email me with any comments or questions.

We love our iPHONES and iPODS here at City NewsCasts. Besides being able to keep up with viewing our CNC video podcasts and listening to the CNC audio podcasts, we can navigate to meetings with the cool "map" feature, coordinate our calendars, to-do lists, email and use either cellular or wi-fi for our web access. And of course it syncs easily with our MACs.
 
You know, I have believed for some time now, that the iPHONE will be the new and only needed replacement for the TV and Radio as we know it now. I believe Apple to be positioned to be the next new cable company that is really delivered over the net not a "cable" at all. Get your new "set" right here on our site!!!
 
Also, don't think you only need one or the other. We have both and use them often. I hook up my iPOD to my stereo clock system right here in the office and listen while I work on City NewsCasts business!!
The deals is back!!
You've asked about what kind of cool stuff we work on here at CNC! Well, here's some of it. All Apple gear..we use it all...multiple powerbooks, MacBksPros, desktops, networks, airports, all their content creation software...
 
Get a great printer/copier/scanner all-in-one to complete your MAC setup. We have several and they work great.

Top on my list of all time favorites is iTUNES!

Use the picture at the left to click into this wonderful world of music, movies, TV shows, and of course our favorite here at CNC, PODCASTS!

Our podcasts are free to everyone, but I cannot resist shopping for my favorite music and videos while updating my current set of podcasts on iTUNES.

I always keep playlists of different types of music or videos to fit my moods throughout the day or night.  Recently I have been adding to my oldies playlist and getting ready for summer with "Summer in the City" by the Lovin' Spoonfuls and Beach Boys and Ike and Tina Turner.

To really be a superuser of the web, you need a .MAC account. This is a "product" from Apple that lasts a year.  You can make your own pages, share files on the web, or just use it to store your files so you can access them from anywhere at anytime.

It's a must for any serious computer user.

Of course you need protection! If you've got Windows, you need McAfee. (nuf, said!)
