ATPM 11.10
The October issue of About This Particular Macintosh is now available. Ellyn ponders the day we watch movies on our mobile phones, while Wes covers the fact that our mobiles are now playing music, thanks to the iTunes-compatible ROKR from Motorola. He also looks at the incredible iPod Nano, file formats, OS X UI, and other bits from the Mac blogosphere. Ted takes TAO and OmniOutliner Pro head to head, while Chuck's FileMaking rolls on with Common Functions. ATPM reader Mark Dickson is gracious in sharing photos from his June trip to Italy as this month's desktop pictures selection. In this month's Cortland, the Lisa returns, and Terry is targeted by...well, some people you think you know. Frisky notes backup freeware PsyncX. On the reviews front, Johann examines Airfoil's audio hijacking and broadcasting capabilities (when paired with an Airport Express Base Station). Chris Lawson tries out Business Card Composer, and puts the Mercury Elite-AL Pro RAID through its paces. Michael compares two disk catalogers, Catalog and CDFinder. I used to use Disk Tracker, but eventually got out of the disk/CD cataloging habit. Now that my digital photo collection is growing by leaps and bounds, there is a need to pick that habit up again, and this review helped. Finally, Tom tells our readers what he thinks of the new iPod nano. As always, the publication is available in three fruity flavors for your reading enjoyment.
