A few weeks ago I told you about the simple outlining tool Tree that I use instead of the very expensive industry darling, OmniGroup’s OmniOutliner. This week I’d like to tell you about a free diagram/flowchart tool you might want to use instead of the very expensive OmniGraffle. OmniGraffle for Mac is $100…for their standard version. […]

This week’s Dumb Question comes from Dorothy, AKA maclurker in the live chat room. You haven’t heard from her in forever because she’s been traveling in Alaska and Canada on her boat for the last few months. With total disregard for how lonely I am at the gym this summer, she seems to be having […]
