BEST WISHES FOR A HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON
Infomanager will return with an all new edition
after the FIRST OF THE YEAR...
HAPPY NEW YEAR
-------------------------------------------------------------------
01 From the Frontline - Happy Holidays
Safe Netting with Joe Showker... The holidays are always
a welcome time to socialize, renew friendships and visit
others. It's also a time where kids have a lot of time on
their hands and spend that time on social media. It's a
great time to have a discussion with you family about safe
netting and over use of digital devices (we're talking about
that "get a life" discussion when too much time is spent
online, gaming or just peering at that small cellphone
screen.)

Elegant Chaos has announced Neu 1.2 for Mac OS X, an

the Finder, without you having to open an application first.
It does this by adding menus and global keyboard shortcuts
that can be triggered from the Finder (or any other
application), which allow you to choose a template to copy.
The templates can contain substitutions which are filled in
when you make the new document.

11 David Pogue's 12 Gifts of Christmas
David's NY Times column today: the 12 Gifts of Christmas!
And it's all stuff that probably didn't occur to you.
David writes :
No 7-year-old ever said, *The holidays are so stressful!*
When you're young, the end of the year is always thrilling.
That's partly because you're young, of course. But it's also
because you're responsible only for opening the presents,
not shopping for them.

12 Even Santa uses Siri
she can help anyone get through a busy day... Or night.

Gary Kampel wrote "I love Dropbox!"
Always have your stuff when you need it with @Dropbox.
2GB account is free!
Thanks, Gary, yes we use it extensively ... have for some time!
You can set up private, shared folders for access by others --
which we do to move client work back and forth.
Another group I'm friends with use it to move GarageBand
tracks around the country to add more tracks. :-)
