The JK Buzz Blog

The JK Buzz is written by John Kirn, a 14 year veteran of Techcare’s technical team. Because of John’s intense focus on Macintosh troubleshooting, he devotes significant time to proactive R&D in order to keep on top of support issues. The JK Buzz was born as a mechanism to pass along this information internally to our technical and sales staff.

While we hope you find this JK Buzz interesting and informative, the content is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute advice. Although John has an excellent track record of providing our staff with accurate assessments of emerging technical issues, Techcare assumes no responsibility or liability for the subject matter provided on the following pages.
