Apple Macintosh Links¶
This is a list of places with Apple computer products or services. And a set of links I use to support my home network of Apple products.
Home Network¶
The 2007 Edition Home Network used to be really complex. It’s gotten simpler over the years.
We’re down to this for networking.
- COX Cable modem.
- An Apple Airport Extreme. This has the printer connected.
- An Apple Airport Express. This connects to the stereo.
- MacBook on CA’s desk.
- MacBook Pro on my desk.
- MacBook on Red Ranger.
- Two iPhones.
- Epson Stylus Photo R340, USB interface.
- Epson Color Scanner 1250, USB interface.
- A random collection of USB and Firewire disk drives with home movies, pictures, old projects, backups, etc.
Information¶
General Apple-related Links.
- Apple Computer main site. Also, their Developer University. And their Technical Library.
- Mike Yee’s ULTIMATE Macintosh page.
- Sierra. They sell TIM and other games.
- MotionWorks. They sell AddMotion II and Multimedia Utilities.
- DataViz. They sell MacLink Plus translator.
- Graphsim. They sell F/A-18 Hornet, a fine flight simulator
- Microsoft. The evil empire?
- MacWarehouse, vendor of software, hardware, etc.
- Ajubasolutions (formerly Scriptics), which has the Macintosh version of Tcl/Tk. Sometimes I think this is cooler than PERL (embeddable, simple, rigorous rules).
- Surfcontrol, makers of Surfwatch and CyberPatrol. Surfwatch a little easier to get along with, but not as feature-rich as CyberPatrol.
- Intuit, makers of Quicken and TurboTax.
- The Python organization (supported by Zope). Forget Tcl, forget PERL. Focus on Python.
- Thorsten Lemke’s Graphic Converter.
