New 1st Quarter 2010 Edition! SUPER Kitchen Sink on 2 DVD's! I simply ran out of room on one DVD to get all the materials I wanted. Now on 2 DVD's! One of the things that killed me was each time I updated the Kitchen Sink CD assortment for X is that it required me to remove a few programs. It seems like every time the programs were updated it never got smaller, so I would have to remove a few to make room. I also kept away from any large programs since I would have to sacrifice so many good smaller programs to make room. Well with 2 DVD's space is no longer a problem. I added all the goodies I always wanted. Now you can simply load them from the DVD's. Categorized, Indexed and Described and most all include links to the authors web site so you can read more about them. We were also able to include Intel versions of the updates where needed.

ALL NEW EXTERNAL DRIVES! Our last housing supplier decided to stop carrying our top selling housings. I have to agree it was getting time since the IDE mechanisms are getting harder to find. What we needed was a FAN Cooled housing with the good Oxford chipset that would take the lower cost and higher performance SATA drive mechanisms. The ones they carried either didn't have a fan or did not have the Oxford chip. They did make one but it was not available in for the domestic market. We no longer purchase from them. Once again, we are in the process of changing our product lineup.

We found a new supplier. They offer ball bearing FAN cooling and have the later OXFORD chip that supports the lightning fast Firewire 800. Of course the housing we picked also has a Firewire 400, USB2 and eSATA connections. They aren't cheap and that is the reason our prices are a bit higher than the discounters. You get what you pay for though. We will be using Seagate SATA 7200 rpm mechanisms that come with a complete factory warranty. We also stock the Firewire 800 PCI cards if you want to upgrade your older system to take avantage of nearly double the speed.

WIRELESS N - Back In Stock! Lower Prices!

Or should I really say Draft N? I thought it would be a long while before I upgraded my Wireless G components to N. Cost keeps me from running out and adopting new technology quickly and I am certain that many of you are like me when it comes to parting with cash. I have had my eyes out for a low cost alternative that would enable me to install the much faster and longer range N. Well I finally located some market PCI cards that we could get drivers for. I replaced our trusty LinkSys Wireless G Router with a refurb N unit and have started using these new cards. You get more bars at even marginal locations with these cards and the transfer rates are astounding. I can now see how video can easily be shared. Perhaps shortly I will have a Mac permanently attached to the TV. Makes it better to watch those shows I missed from online and all without stringing CAT 5E across the floor. We provide the drivers on our new SuperSink CD (a $14.77 value) included with each PCI Wireless N Card or USB Dongle.

TRADE-INS

Many times when you are ready to upgrade your old system may not be worth much, especially to a dealer who is used to buying in quantity at wholesale prices and has the units shipped in bulk truck freight. Boxing and shipping your old system costs a few dollars. Here lately we have been having more trouble locating older systems people are still buying. We will begin offering trade-ins for certain older systems. The following are on the list: PowerMac G4, iMac G4, QuickSilver G4, Blue & White (REV 2 Only), G3 Desktops, PowerMac 7300, Quadra or Centris 650, and Mac IICI's. The units need to be cosmetically in good condition and working (at least chiming). Trade in value will vary from the top price for extra clean, that exceed stock configurations and down for less that prime units. Email: cheryn or use the online form for quotes.

We are also purchasing good used Apple Desktop Bus Mouse II ADB Mice, working StyleWriters, and Zip Drives.

RECYCLING

If you have Mac items and hate to throw them away but figure they have little or no value in todays market, rather than dumping them to a landfill, write us with a list. Email: cheryn or the online form. Any of the items we can use we will pay your shipping. You can rest assured that we will put your old Mac items back into circulation either using them to repair old equipment or including the items with systems. All hard drives are thoroughly formatted so have no fear about any data left on a hard drive. We properly recycle any items we end up having to discard.
