04 Protection Against Accidental Data Loss
Yazsoft understands that everyone screws up from time to time.
Unblunder, their new application for Mac OS X, gives you the chance
to redeem yourself. Have you ever sent something to the Trash and
emptied it only to realize moments later... oopz?
We all have and it can happen to anyone. Unblunder to the rescue!

05 A Guide to Things eMail on the Net
This web page contains links to "Things eMail."
The web site itself seems to concentrate on Mac OS X and UNIX,
but this particular page also talks about spam, anti-virus,
mail on mobile phones, UCE Filtering, security, serving,
hosting mailing lists and more.

06 MacMost
I never paid a lot of attention to MacMost, even though
I downloaded its iPhone app last fall when
I first got my first iPhone.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
07 MailMate 1.0 Released
Freron Software has released a new Mac OS X email client.
Aimed at power users, MailMate optimizes the workflow when dealing
with large amounts of email. MailMate has state-of-the-art
searching capabilities which is also used to provide advanced
Smart Mailbox features. The encouraged workflow in MailMate
is to handle each incoming email by either archiving or deleting it.
Smart mailboxes can then be used to automatically organize
emails based on any message header of any message body part.

your vehicles: administrative information, insurance, fuel
or care expenses, mileage of the next maintenance,
technical inspections, as well as the information

(garages, assistance, specialized shops, etc.).

10 Wacom Intuos4 Wireless Tablet
From George Engel, LaMUG
I've been using a Wacom Intuos 3 Tablet for a couple of years
now and I love it! It's so much faster than using my Mouse to
get around. In Photoshop, it's just a speed-demon and really
cuts my time down. The precision is awesome.
It makes using my mouse feel like I'm working with a brick.

11 BackJack Online Backup for Mac
Synectics Business Solutions, Inc., developer and provider
of the BackJack Online Backup Service for Macintosh, has
announced the availability of a 4 GB Free Account to
complement its well-established business service.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
12 New iCal Alternative
A new iCal alternative called Caliander was released at the
opening of the Mac App Store on Jan 6th. It is the first release
from indie developer Little Marauder. Caliander has a novel
timeline based UI, faster event creation using common english
descriptions, and a global keyboard shortcut for adding
events from anywhere and at any time.
Since it uses the same calendar database as iCal, it
syncs just as usual, and there is no need to
migrate old calendars.

13 Adobe CS5 Design Premium - How To's
From George Engel, LaMUG
... If you have Adobe's Creative Suite 5, this is a cool book for
only $30.00 from Adobe. If you only have Photoshop CS5, save
your money; as this 345 page book will have slightly less than
fifty pages for you, and only eleven pages on Bridge.
This is a CS5 Premium Suite book, folks.

14 Toast is ready - Shoot it
Stefan Preuss has launched another of those killer games -
Toast Shooter HD 1.2 for Apple's iPad. Toast Shooter is a fun
arcade style tap-the-right-item type of game. The cute graphics
and the easy game play makes Toast Shooter
a great game for all ages.

15 Quotes: What do you want to do?
"I am always doing that which I can not do,
in order that I may learn how to do it."
- Pablo Picasso

only when you look into your heart.
Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens."
- Carl Jung
