Helvetica and iPhoto:
I was listening to this podcast today and heard about the Helvetica Neue font issue with iPhoto. Turns out the font was still where it needed to be, but had been somehow uninstalled. Once I went to Library/Fonts/ and double clicked on the file, it said “not installed.” I hit the install button and boom, everything is fixed!
Hope this helps anyone with similar issues. Of course, if your font really has been removed somehow, that’s where the install disks might come in handy.
14:48 what more can I say! :D
Appleworks is no longer on the US Online Apple Store. Out with the old in with the new!! :)

Hey Adam, just caught this on CNN and it reminded me of the collections of Macs you show on your Networking page. Sad to say, it is in Flash and not friendly on my iPhone or work.

I stand corrected, it is on the online store, i tried searching for appleworks, but it did not show in any search results. Way to go Apple get as much money off it as you can hehehe :)
Adam –
While I don’t think the class action suits against the iPhone about the battery issues merit serious attention, I do want to point out that iPod batteries are actually easy to install for anyone that is not afraid of opening the case–whereas the iPhone battery is actually soldered onto the motherboard. As much as I love a lot about Macs and Apple’s products, I do think that this is a flaw in the design. If I were a cynical person, I might think that making the battery nearly impossible for the customer to replace is all about finding another way to make money off a product.
Keep up that great work. I am about to celebrate my 1 year anniversary as a new Mac switcher (started with an iMac and recently moved to a Macbook Pro, 2.2 ghz, 15″ . . . of course, I had to sell the iMac to help defer that cost!), and your podcast has been a great source of information and tips for me. Thanks!
I have dlink WAPs at home and work and linksys at least at one client and I had no problems connecting to WPA secured connections.
The only problem I have is with those APs that use WPA Enterprise which requires a username and password rather than just a password key.
