Joe Kissell’s new ebook, Take Control of Running Windows on a Mac is the best book so far for the average Mac user who wants to jump into the world of running PC applications. He covers the pros and cons of Apple’s Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop, and the Q emulator.

Take Control of Running Windows on a Mac
Digital Religion
With all this high-tech lifestyle surrounding us, we tend to spend more time in front of computer screens then we spend praying. It could reach a point where it would be easier to convince anyone to convert to a new religion rather then switch to a new operating system.

Timbuktu Pro 8.6
Review
For those unfamiliar with Timbuktu, let me give you the basics. It is remote control software, meaning you use it to either take control of another computer (Mac or PC, but for this review, I’m only looking at the Macintosh version) or you allow someone else to take control of your machine. Sounds simple, and it is. But there is much more to it than that.

ABT iJet for Nano FM
Review
If you are in the market for a wireless remote and/or an FM transmitter for your iPod Nano, look no further than the iJet for Nano FM by ABT. The iJet for Nano FM is both of these accessories in one, and to top it off it is also a protective case for your Nano.

Refurbished Macs and the Verbose Mode Dilemma
This Macspiration is going to be a little different – More of a story with a solution to a problem. This may not be a common problem, but I have seen it more than once, which makes me think there are more people out there with the same experience.

Total Training for Adobe Go Live CS2
Review
Watching a Total Training DVD takes you on a wild ride. The graphics are fun and it is a professional series. I quite enjoyed Lynn Grillo and her mode of instruction. She was clear, fun, and precise in showing me each step in GoLive CS2.

Charge While You Listen – DLO’s TransDock micro
Review
One of the first features that drew me to this iPod gadget was the battery charger. I listen my iPod (using a cassette player adapter) mostly in my car and I can’t count how many times the battery has come close to running down or out because I hadn’t charged it for several days. So when I saw that DLO’s TransDock micro would charge my 4th generation iPod while it broadcast my music , I wanted to check out its other features as a possible upgrade to my current transmitter.
