You may recall my post about winning this Advance Reader (or Review) Copy of The Time Traveler’s Almanac a few days ago. Now it is here and I’m looking forward to diving into it as soon as I finish my current book.
I had a pleasant surprise last week when I found out I had won a free copy of the $60 MacKeeper program for my MacBook Pro from the Make Use Of website. This software is almost like a Swiss Army Knife for your Mac. I have only run 4 of its components so far, and […]
