Google Chrome for Mac is released!

Posted by promacnyc on December 10, 2009 in Mac, News, software |

Another, “I like this!”:

Google “Chrome” is a fairly new web Browser that was developed by our friends at Google. Its been out for PC for awhile, but we Mac owners who wanted to try it were out of luck…Till Now. Google even had a Sign Up list to be notified for when the Mac version was released. You may have gotten the notice from Google that the Mac version is finally out. I did, downloaded it, and I’ve been trying it out for the last few days. Its has some very nice features and is Way Fast (and free* of course) Another nice tool from the folks at Google, who seem to be getting more and more on the Mac band-wagon all the time. Link below to download the Mac (beta) version. Check it out, and see how it feels compared to Firefox (or Safari).

Scanning in Snow Leopard with HP All In One Printer

Posted by promacnyc on September 4, 2009 in How-To, Mac, Software Updates |

Scanning in Snow Leopard is a bit different than in Leopard. In Leopard with my HP Officejet 5610 All In One printer, I had done scanning via HP’s application called HP Scan Pro, and/or the HP Device Manager.  In Snow Leopard however, this is changed. Scanning in Snow Leopard (10.6) is done directly from Apple’s applications, Image […]

Email…Gmail vs. AOL

Posted by promacnyc on July 28, 2009 in News |

It always is a bit surprising to me how many of my clients still use AOL for their email after all this time (and for example, have not switched to Gmail…. a far, far superior email service in every way) This seems to be a common holdover from the time, many years ago now, when AOL […]
