Thoughtful, detailed coverage of everything Apple for 33 years
and the TidBITS Content Network for Apple professionals

Articles by Tonya

In addition to the hundreds of articles that I’ve written for the TidBITS Web site and email newsletter, and for the TidBITS Content Network, and for my personal blog, I’ve also written quite a few articles as a freelancer.

Although I’m open to writing more freelance articles, at the moment, I’ve not done so in quite a while, so the list below is a partial list of work that I did long ago. Sadly, as I transitioned this list to the new version of the TidBITS website in 2018, I realized that all the links lead to 404s except for the Mac Tech article, which I’ve listed first, since its link is working fine and the article is still relevant now, 20 years later!
