Computing at Chaos Manor, May 8, 2008 - Jerry's first column of May has much about Microsoft vs. Yahoo, and much about the wider implications, both for Microsoft, and in a larger sense, for business in general. There is a gadget review, and several reader reports, as well.
Computing at Chaos Manor, April 30, 2008 - While fitting in a fair amount of recuperation, Jerry finds time to sort out some of his Outlook archiving woes that keep his PST files in the red zone. Also, the month's winding down section sees politics and Missing Manuals prominently featured.
April 21, 2008 Mailbag - The Maibag returns! And there's plenty to see, from Microsoft and Operating Systems, to mobile computing, to OS X, and Fusion, and Linux, and more.
Computing at Chaos Manor, April 9, 2008 - Jerry celebrates the birth of his granddaughter, while using Windows in VMware Fusion on the Mac (Imogene, it's rumored). The iPhone contines to grow on him, and iPhoto turns out to be pleasantly easy to learn and use.
Computing at Chaos Manor, April 3, 2008 - Spring has sprung, but Jerry's battling recalcitrant networks, hard X-rays, and a to-do list as long as a librarian's arm. His Mac experience deepens while a new small speaker and D-Link gear stand out.

Chaos Manor Reviews is the latest phoenix to rise from the ashes of the BYTE columns I have written since 1979. The BYTE column has been prepared monthly for more than twenty years. These Reviews will be done at whim, but generally weekly. I'll also add special reviews, both from me and from guests.
My primary profession is fiction, and that will get most of my attention, but there's always more to say about the computer revolution, and what hardware and software I've found useful.
We'll continue this as long as it's worth doing.

I've long run my main site, www.jerrypournelle.com, on the Public Radio model. That is, I occasionally remind readers that subscribing is a sincere form of flattery, and likely to keep me writing and posting emails and my replies on topics of interest. I also send out gentle reminders to those subscribers who've let their subscription lapse.
Getting started, I'm going to put all of the new columns on this site in the Open Archives. In a short while, I'll start putting new columns in the subscribers-only area. Access to that is going to be user/password access controlled. I'll change those on a regular basis, and send out the new credentials via email to current subscribers.
Subscribe to the Chaos Manor sites. Encourage me to keep writing on the subjects and topics that you've told me time and again interest you.
