		<description><![CDATA[Next Saturday, March 22, a mere 11 days from now, the Intel Pentium processor will turn a grand 15 years of age.  The Pentium marked a pretty dramatic increase in x86-based processor optimization capabilities, namely the introduction of multiple instruction pipelines.  The optimization gains were so much so, that many software packages don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I love about Zimbra as an administrator is the fact that it includes some decent graphing functionality in the administration interface.  I can quickly see the health of my Zimbra servers and the affects of any configuration updates I&#8217;ve made.
Many companies and other organizations these days have multiple domains, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had occasion today to need to do some &#8220;creative&#8221; email routing for one of my Zimbra servers.  Charter Communications appears to have either blackhole-routed or simply firewalled traffic coming from a block of IP addresses that I recently acquired.  I guess that the last person/company to use these addresses may have upset [...]]]></description>

As such, Parallels was a no-brainer when I got my MacBook Pro.  When Parallels stopped working for me after installing the Mac OS [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a Zimbra hosting provider, I often get questions from clients about iPhones.  One of the glaring omissions in the iPhone is the lack of any sort of over-the-air syncing capability.  I completely understand the need to plug it in to iTunes so it can check for software updates, sync lots of large [...]]]></description>

Since all of our workstations in the house are Macs, and I wanted to be able to let SpinRite perform its sometimes lengthy drive analysis without tying up [...]]]></description>
