We got our first Macintosh computer here at The Journal in 1988 and we have been all Mac ever since.
Everyone knows that the Mac is the best platform for desktop publishing and graphics. We think it is the best for a lot of other uses as well, but then, we love our Macs.
Apple’s Steve Jobs, who died last week, was a benefactor for newspapers not just because Apple

To everything there is a season. As we transition from the heat of
summer to the crisp cool of autumn, I find my life changing seasons as
well. In January my husband and I will become first-time parents, and
this is the final edition of The Journal for which I’ll serve as news
editor before I start working full time on preparing for the baby.

“The middle class would not exist without organized labor.” So proclaimed Vice President Joe Biden at a recent speech in Ohio. He’s right. And with unemployment stuck above 9 percent, the need for strong unions has never been greater.

One thing you can always count on during an election cycle is that nothing is guaranteed to stay the same. The candidate with the lead one day may find that lead erode or evaporate the next.

With the Democratic caucus Chair Pearl Smith out of town and out of reach, that issue was at a standstill.
Then Monday afternoon, that race got tossed into the can when Moncure announced he was withdrawing from the race. Now, how Democrats will certify their only remaining candidate Nicholas Smith is the issue. And how much support the party will give Smith is another question for Democrats who know the polls show the Northern Neck with Republicans in the majority at 65 percent compared to Democrats at 35 percent.
As for Republicans things have been going swimmingly for Margaret Ransone who had almost 300 folks in attendance at her party at Horn Point last Friday. While
