Chaos Manor User's Column Archive 2010

Computing at Chaos Manor, January 11, 2010 -
The January Column brings both Orchids and Onions, following Jerry's take on what's popping up hot at CES and a brief reflection on the year just past.
January 24, 2010 Mailbag -
It's a lean mailbag this month, primarily due to Jerry putting in the hours on Mamalukes. Items include the long-term prospects for Microsoft, and more about virus infections and needing to give Roberta a new machine as a result.
Computing at Chaos Manor, February 8, 2010 -
The long opening segment of this column ruminates on the publishing business, thinking brought on by the Amazon vs. Macmillan chicken contest last week. Jerry also built one new machine and fettled a new laptop, as well as battling with the evil Worm.
February 22, 2010 Mailbag -
The mailbag is brimming with feedback on column topics: much on worms, infections and attacks, as well as commiseration and advice on living with the oddities of new OS and Office versions.
Computing at Chaos Manor, March 11, 2010 -
The heart of this month's column is Jerry's view of the next revolution. Think technology and entertainment, not politics. There are segments on Virtual XP under Windows 7, and on system slowdows. The month wraps with a lot of book recommendations.
Computing at Chaos Manor, April 11, 2010 -
Jerry gives the iPad center stage, and examines what it means for the coming resurgence of tablet computing. There are plenty of good books recommended this month, as well.
April 26, 2010 Mailbag -
Much of the mail is in response, one way or another, to the iPad comments in the latest column. But, as Jerry points out, there was more in March and April columns than just the iPad, and that makes this a big mailbag.
Computing at Chaos Manor, June 22, 2010 -
Jerry has his iPad now, and is plenty impressed with the device and what he anticipates the impact will be. More books are recommended this month, with a large stack remaining for a special column, too.
Computing at Chaos Manor, July 14, 2010 -
While Jerry continues to enjoy his iPad, AT&T merely inspires lack of confidence. The iPhone 4 antenna and signal strength molehile get a few column inches, and the Summer Book Review finally arrives.
Computing at Chaos Manor, July 16, 2010 -
It's two days since the column, and Jerry's ready with a July supplement on iPhone 4 antenna issues, and a happy ending to the AT&T MicroCell story.
July 25, 2010 Mailbag -
The mail is mostly a show in three acts: iPad, iPhone (& AT&T MicroCell), and eBooks. And that makes for a big mailbag after a long-ish hiatus.
Computing at Chaos Manor, August 18, 2010 -
Jerry holds forth on some dangers on the Internet, including cookies and flash cookies. He battles the Windows 7 print spooler for Roberta, discusses the value of publishers and editors, and reviews several books useful for Windows 7 and Office 2010 users.
August 23, 2010 Mailbag -
After a brief interchange on Flash cookies, the balance Jerry's mailbag this month is full of iPad topics. Comparisons, ovations, and at least one complaint. Enjoy!
