Tonya Engst goes in-depth and gets intense on how to find things in the
Finder and ways to organize your files into easy-to-manage folders
rather than having them strewn about on your desktop. Tonya also talks
about using the tools and options the Mac OS provides for making your
file management easier, and briefly touches on a couple of her favorite
utilities that help her manage her busy personal and professional life. (more)

Thomas Avallone of the Shreveport Macintosh Users Group has provided us
with a story of how his new group, formed earlier this year, found a way

fund future operations. (more)</description>

With Macworld Conference and Expo in San Francisco less than 60 days
away, we talk to Paul Kent, the Conference Chair for the event about all
the new options for learning that are part of the conference track. New
offerings for digital photographers, power users and very topic-specific
sessions are all part of the biggest and best Macworld Expo yet. Get all
the details from Paul, and find out how you can save 15% off attending
as a MacVoices listener. (more)

Andy Ihnatko delivers his thoughts on taking video with you but not on
your iPod, why the much promoted convergence devices aren't always what
they're cracked up to be, the one program he insists that his cell phone
du jour be compatible with, and his opinion on how long you can expect
your bright, shiny new quad G5 to feel "wickedly fast." (more)
