I know, more iPod cases? Yup. In my opinion, the more iPod case reviews the better. There are so many iPod cases on the market, that when I bought mine I depended on the reviews I found to help me make a decision. Hopefully, this article can help you out.

Review

The Download Drawer 5
A Mixed Bag of Downloads
Generally, I try to keep the downloads in the Download Drawer centered around a theme. This time I decided to just list a few great programs that, basically, have nothing in common, except that they are made for the Mac. As usual, all of these programs are free.

Book Review
Flip through any creative, cutting edge magazine or website and you’ll discover what professional and crafty users of Photoshop are doing with photography.

The Adjustment Tool in iPhoto 6 – Part 1
No doubt, either version of Adobe’s Photoshop offers the best tools for photo enhancements, but Apple’s iPhoto image Adjustment tool provides a quick, down and dirty, method for enhancing your photos.

Read MoreFM Transmitters available in Europe, but…
I had been contemplating the merits of buying a FM Transmitter for my iPod in the US and bringing it over to Germany in the past. I then remembered how much trouble my parents got into, when my Mom bought my brother and me a set of walky-talkies in Spain…
Read MoreApple Advertising (GASP) the Mac
It is true: Apple is actually advertising, on television, the benefits of the Macintosh over a Windows PC. Amazing. The ads are clever, entertaining, and informative. Maybe this will be the start of reminding the PC world that, yes, Apple still makes computers, and not just iPods. Check out the ads at this link.

Installing, Upgrading or Reinstalling OSX Part 2
Last week I discussed how to do a basic installation of OSX. This week I will discuss different options you can choose (or may have to choose) during the installation process. Some of these options will save you hard drive space, and also shorten the installation time. Once again, the screen shots are from a 10.3 install, and may vary slightly for other versions of OSX.
