| There are many websites I visit on a regular
basis. The following sites are places I find useful and feel should
be bookmarked by every Mac user. |
|
|
Macnn.com http://www.macnn.com (Macintosh
News Network)
Macnn updates their news on what seems like an hourly basis. Macnn
covers regular tech news, news relating to new Mac software,
new Mac hardware, stories relating to Macs in the industry and
helful system notes. There is also a chat forum and reviews section.
|
|
MacFixIt http://www.macfixit.com
MacFixIt is dedicated to problems people are experiencing with their Macs. No
software is perfect and luckily we have sites like MacFixIt to help report
those issues so we can work around problems and get our machines working again. |
|
|
MacUpdate http://www.macupdate.com
There is a lot of software available for Mac users that
isn't found on the shelf. Such software is in the form of shareware
and
freeware. Shareware can be downloaded from the internet and
used for free for a certain period of time and freeware is
free! MacUpdate also lists commercial software and software
updates for the Mac. |
|
|
Apple Discussions: http://discussions.info.apple.com
Apple's Discussion forums are an excellent place to get help from
fellow Mac users and ask questions relating to nearly every aspect
of the Macintosh. Topics range from wireless connections to printing
to iMac troubleshooting. Official Apple representatives also
frequent the site and help answer questions. |

| High-Speed
Internet: Comcast.com, Cox.com: |
|
http://www.comcast.com
Comcast is the my internet service provider (ISP) in Portland. It is consistently
faster than DSL and millions times faster than dial-up. Warning - once you
get Comcast
you'll never go back to dial-up. It is that incredible. |
|
http://www.cox.com
I can't live anywhere without high speed internet. Since moving to Las Vegas,
Cox has been awesome. The speed is just as good as my Comcast service in Portland
and the price is comparable. Sign up for Cox Cable TV and you'll receive $10
off Cox High Speed Internet! Great Savings. |
|
Local
Dial-Up (Portland): SpiritOne: http://www.spiritone.com
Spiritone has been in Portland and Vancouver for quite a few years now. I actually
used SpiritOne for a few years before I upgraded to high speed internet. They
are a reliable provider with excellent customer service. For local dial-up
you won't be happier.
Nationwide Dial-Up: Fastermac.net: http://www.fastermac.net
Fastermac.net is a nationwide dial-up internet access provider for the Macintosh
only. I have had a few people use them and for the most part they have been
satisfied. I do believe their customer service could be better, but for the
price, once you get set up it is hard to beat. |
|
|
Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com
A website which is the most reliable, one of the most affordable,
with the best customer service available today on the internet.
If you are shopping online, check out Amazon.com for nearly everything.
Their prices frequently beat every other store and with
their free shipping offers, why not save some time buying products
online? |
|
|
NetFlix.com: http://www.netflix.com
If you are a lover of DVDs like I am, then
you must subscribe to NetFlix. With NetFlix you can rent unlimited
DVDs for $22/month, with no late fees and all postage is included.
There is no catch. There is even a free trial! |
|
IMDb: http://www.imdb.com
The Internet Movie Database. If you have a question about an actor's
birth, their movie credits, where they were born, etc.,
go check out IMDb. There is so much information on this site.
If anyone ever asks you a movie-related question you can tell
them for sure! |
|
Xicons.com: http://www.xicons.com
Custom icons for folders, files, hard drives and disks on your
Mac. All free and tons of categories to choose from. Also see
IconFactory.com |
|
Web Hosting: http://www.icommercesolutions.com
When you put a website together, you need a host to serve the files
out to the internet (a server). Much like your internet service
provider (Comcast, Earthlink, etc.) gives you access to email,
your web host provides you with the ability to let the world
have
access
to
your website. |
