About Mac Support

Want a Mac site that’s chock full of goodies?
What I especially like about this page are the numerous links in the left-hand rail. You’ll find links for G3 and G4 processors, iMac, iBook and PowerBook support, upgrading old Macs, installing memory and maintenance tips. As you know, half the battle of finding what you want on the web is, finding it. This site helps you find the Mac stuff fast. What don’t I like? The pop-up ad that dropped behind my browser on the day when I visited this page. That’s a pain.
Try the About.com Mac support page:

http://www.irs.gov/
You’ll find links for help, downloadable tax forms, a place to e-file your taxes, and more. Some studies show that tax help sites are some of the fastest-growing places on the web.
Here’s one of my favorite tax sites:
http://www.tax.org/
This page is filled with links that not only inform, but teach.
Then there’s H & R Block’s Tax Cut software:
http://www.taxcut.com/
http://www.apple.com/macosx/applications/taxcut/
And of course, Intuit (makers of TurboTax for Mac) has its tax page filled with goodies:

Here’s where you can find the Kentucky Revenue Cabinet’s page for downloadable tax forms, news, tax laws and more.

Good reviews: The folks over at c|net sure like the current crop of Apples. I checked out their reviews of the newest iBook, PowerBook and iMac. The iBook made the Editor’s Choice list. c|net says that laptop continues to be a great consumer notebook. The PowerBook G4 also is named Editor’s Choice. c|net says it has "heart-pumping performance." And the new iMac is so new that only a preliminary review by Mac user Gene Steinberg was available when I wrote this. But 92 percent of the folks who took the time to review the new iMac (with the base that resembles a volleyball cut in half) gave it thumbs up. From early sales, it appears the new iMac will outsell the original.
