07 iPod Touch for Dummies

08 ClamXav 2.0.4 Public Beta

ClamAV open source antivirus engine as a back end. It is also
now 5 years old. Of course, it really isn't needed today on a
Mac. But who knows what tomorrow will bring. Also if you share
files with other platforms, it would be polite not
to forward infected ones.

yet inexpensive, compression powerhouse : Stuffit Deluxe 2010.
I've already upgraded!

16 Quote: Encouragement
"We should seize every opportunity to give encouragement.
Encouragement is oxygen to the soul.
The days are always dark enough.
There is no need for us to emphasize the fact by
spreading further gloom."
