August 23, 2010 Mailbag - After a brief interchange on Flash cookies, the balance Jerry's mailbag this month is full of iPad topics. Comparisons, ovations, and at least one complaint. Enjoy!
Computing at Chaos Manor, August 18, 2010 - Jerry holds forth on some dangers on the Internet, including cookies and flash cookies. He battles the Windows 7 print spooler for Roberta, discusses the value of publishers and editors, and reviews several books useful for Windows 7 and Office 2010 users.
July 25, 2010 Mailbag - The mail is mostly a show in three acts: iPad, iPhone (& AT&T MicroCell), and eBooks. And that makes for a big mailbag after a long-ish hiatus.
Computing at Chaos Manor, July 16, 2010 - It's two days since the column, and Jerry's ready with a July supplement on iPhone 4 antenna issues, and a happy ending to the AT&T MicroCell story.
Computing at Chaos Manor, July 14, 2010 - While Jerry continues to enjoy his iPad, AT&T merely inspires lack of confidence. The iPhone 4 antenna and signal strength molehile get a few column inches, and the Summer Book Review finally arrives.

Chaos Manor Reviews is the latest phoenix to rise from the ashes of the BYTE columns I have written since 1979. The BYTE column has been prepared monthly for more than twenty years. These Reviews will be done at whim, but generally one column and one mailbag a month. I'll also add special reviews, both from me and from guests.
My primary profession is fiction, and that will get most of my attention, but there's always more to say about the computer revolution, and what hardware and software I've found useful.
We'll continue this as long as it's worth doing.

I've long run my main site, www.jerrypournelle.com, on the Public Radio model. That is, I occasionally remind readers that subscribing is a sincere form of flattery, and likely to keep me writing and posting emails and my replies on topics of interest. I also send out gentle reminders to those subscribers who've let their subscription lapse.
Getting started, I'm going to put all of the new columns on this site in the Open Archives. In a short while, I'll start putting new columns in the subscribers-only area. Access to that is going to be user/password access controlled. I'll change those on a regular basis, and send out the new credentials via email to current subscribers.
Subscribe to the Chaos Manor sites. Encourage me to keep writing on the subjects and topics that you've told me time and again interest you.
