Rembrandt Q. Einstein

for those of you who own a computer (who doesn't these days?) and also have access to a digital camera (see previous parenthetical comment) here's a neat little trick: take a picture of whatever is behind your screen and set it as your background. you've got a transparent computer!

speaking of computers, remember the Apple II? here's a site where you can play all of your old favorites like Oregon Trail. strangely, it only works on Windows, but you Mac nerds can download a free IIgs emulator and download the game ROMs from virtualapple. then all you need is a copy of a ROM from an actual IIgs, so pull the Woz out of the closet and plug it in, if only for a few minutes. nothing like reliving your childhood.

and if that wasn't tech info enough, all you Safari users will be happy to know that Google Maps now functions properly for the rest of us. goodbye mapquest.

now, if you didn't care about ANY of the above (chances are you didn't) I have a couple of questions. am I supposed to think that Mousetrap R. Overcharge is a real person? and if so, do I then trust this person enough to take his/her advice to apply for a mortgage? whose first name is Mousetrap?

yours,
Macs Power
