Archived Posts from notebook

Here is a cure for all of you Mac lovers whose notebooks aren’t so pearly white anymore. Toothpaste. Lifehacker is reporting that by rubbing a small amount of toothpaste onto the case with a slightly damp cloth and then rubbing it off with a dry rag will remove those unsightly stains. The stains are common from the palms of Mac users resting on the inside of the case when typing. My personal opinion is that Mac users must be dirtier than the rest of us. I don’t seem to have that problem with my Dell. :) A word of warning, I would recommend being very careful with the damp cloth around the keyboard. I also recommend cleaning your little Apple with it fully powered off just in case any water decides to run into sensitive locations.

Mom: “Glenn, what kind of notebook should I buy?”

My answer: buy which ever one you want. Helpful right? The truth is, that it is a pretty personal decision. Silly that buying an electronic device should be a personal endeavor but alas it is. Our family makes this decision slightly more complicated because of a couple of … umm, *cough* Apple *cough* fans. We are also split down the center Republicans and Democrats so you can get a clear picture of just how much fun we can have together :)

Now before I go any further, I should clarify a couple of things. I can no longer refer to Intel vs Mac because Apple has chosen current Intel chips for their CPUs. I will refer to any non-Apple notebook as Windows because this operating system is the most common. Alternatively, I will refer to Macintosh notebooks as simply Apple notebooks.

My general use of computers tends to be in the Windows world. Whereas my wife and sister think their shiny Apple computers are the bomb.
