THE COLUMNSby Michael Finley
Why not bookmark Mike's columns for your weekly enjoyment?"Lots of us find it a very helpful, human, sometimes humorous, always interesting, often surprising column that has no peer on the freelance market, And, yes, you can use that as a testimonial if it helps."-- Bill Dowd, Albany Times Union
"No one talks about the ups and downs of technology like Michael Finley. See his columns online at www.mfinley.com. -- James S. Derk, Evansville (IN) Courier
"Editors want everything to fall into a neat little box, and your stuff doesn't do that. You don't write merely about technology, you write about what technology means to us and how it has changed us. I like it." -- John Boxmeyer, St. Paul
since you ask... your column stinks. its good your audience is ignorant, or atleast the people who pay you. i get a whole lot more info from the likes of tomshardware, cpu-central etc .COM than i have ever from any of your writing.
so there!
