IGG Software Donating Sales to Vermont Disaster Relief
It’s always great to see a company reaching out. If you’ve read my previous posts on managing a budget and switching to iBank, you’ll know I’m a fan of IGG Software and their iBank software. Below is a press release from the company and how they’re giving back in the wake of Hurricane Irene. Now is as good of a time as any to switch to great software, and to help out in the process.

Read MoreAutomator: Create a Narration/Podcast Track Application
With the addition of the new, high-quality voices in Mac OS X Lion, an idea on how to best implement these new features jumped into my head – why not use Automator to create custom, high-quality narrations? For those of us who don’t feature a rich, enticing set of pipes to create entrancing and inviting narratives, this is a great, free alternative. I’ve been a fairly avid user of Automator for awhile, and its ability to create a self-running, customized Application is a perfect example of an easy-to-develop efficiency booster. Please read this previous post for other...
Read MoreMac OS X Lion: Favorite New Features
Lion’s been out of its proverbial cage for nearly two weeks, and I’ve had about just as long to get set up and running with all the new features. I wrote a post prior to launch date describing the features that I was excited about the most, and I’m pleased to say that I’m not disappointed at all. In fact, I’ve grown to love it as much as a non-koolaid-drinking-Apple-fan can be. Here’s a short list of what I’ve fallen in love with the most since the installation. See a gallery of screenshots at the end of the post. 1) Full Screen Apps –...
Read MoreWhere’s the Library folder in Lion? [Mac OS X]
For those of you who have upgraded to the latest version of Mac OS X since its launch last week, there are quite a few things to become accustomed to, most of which I’m beginning to be a fan of (more on that in a future post…). One of the items I found missing from Lion is the ability to easily see the Library folder, usually found in MacintoshHD/Users/[homefolder]/ destination, clearly seen in previous Mac operating systems. No Library to be seen. Many of you have been told (even by me!) to ignore the Library folder and its contents, and that the computer will be happier...
Read More**UPDATE** Quicken Will Not Work with Lion? Time to Switch to iBank
Hi all… I received a great heads up from the Marketing Director of IGG Software (@IGGSoftware) and I wanted to make sure everyone was clear on the process of moving your financial data into Lion. In my previous post, I mentioned how, if you are currently a user of Quicken for Mac, that you would need to find another solution if you’re planning on upgrading to Mac OS X Lion. I suggest moving away from Intuit altogether, to iBank. Whether you make that decision to switch, or consider Quicken Essentials as your best choice, please note the following: “BEFORE UPDATING TO...
