Dr Richard M Marshall

I've always liked to build things. Since I outgrew Lego I've been building software, development teams and most recently companies.

I'm Founder and CTO of Rapid Mobile Media Ltd in Edinburgh, Scotland. We founded the company in February 2004. We mobilise applications, but are now focussing on Ad360 Mobile Advertising Platform.

I like to think of us as creating mobile applications that people actually use, but we go much deeper than that.

This blog, however, is much more about my observations on the last frontier, the world of mobile technology. And anything else that crosses my path.

Too expensive to repair!

Well, the Apple-approved repair centre says I need a new motherboard and topcase, which comes in at £528!

That’s just silly.

So the Macbook is going to be a shiny brick unless someone else wants to try  and breath life into it.

Which leaves me with a 3Gb Entourage file that I need to convert back to Outlook. Oh dear.

And that’s another reason why the new laptop, when I get it, will be running Windows.

In the meantime, I’m running with my five or six year old Sony Vaio which works fine, just a bit slow and with some odd artefacts on the screen.
