And How Many of These Outfits Do *You* Remember?
From the OWC Blog today:
“When a company sells 2 billion of anything, there’s bound to be a good amount of competition that arises along the way. Unfortunately, with that much competition comes a fair number of casualties.”
It goes on a bit about the history of hard drives, and provides a link, HDD Graveyard, to a list of 217 hard drive manufacturers no longer with us.

Quick! Before They All Get Together and Do You In…
Does this:
look like your computer desk (I only wish mine were this organized…)?
If so, you’re not alone, and MakeUseOf.com wants to help you out! Point your browser thusly: 5 Ways To Clean Up Computer Cable Clutter Under Your Desk and see how you make out. From the conclusion of the article:
Quickly organizing cables and getting them out of the way can be quite simple, but the result isn’t necessary beautiful. Perfection comes at a price. To tame the cables, you must tie them down. While this can keep them out of sight, it also makes it much harder to exchange cables or move a device later on. Which compromise do you choose?

Were You At the Meeting Last Night?
If not, you missed a great evening!
Apps & Traps had a couple of things I’m drooling over (if only I had a new-enough iPod…); the 10 Commandments presentation was full of very good advice; and the roundtable discussion got a lot of audience participation. Oh, and you’re in good company: you didn’t win the Hitachi 500 GB external hard drive in the drawing, either. :::sigh:::
You also missed the new menus at Coco’s! Jordi took great care of us, as always, and the conversations were, as always, wide-ranging.
That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!
