Use an extra Mac as an extra display |

 Are you one of those people who has multiple Macs on their desks,
but really only uses one of them? Admit it, you can't put that old iMac in the attic! Well, there’s no reason why you should
let that extra screen go to waste. ScreenRecycler
allows you to use any networked computer (yes, even a Windows PC) as a
second display. The software is currently in free pre-release, so if
you’ve got an extra computer laying around put it to use!
From the site: "Most
Mac users have a spare computer sitting right next to their main
computer on their desk including a nice display. ScreenRecycler now
enables you to use this spare computer as second display for your Mac.
You can even use an idle machine for that purpose. It’s like a dual monitor setup without the need to buy an additional monitor. Just start ScreenRecycler on your Mac then connect to ScreenRecycler via VNC from your old machine. Use any machine as additional monitor on your Mac!"

WICHITA, Kan. --03/05/2007-- QuickerTek has just announced the
availability of 802.11n wireless upgrade cards for Apple Intel
MacBook, Intel MacBook Pro models and Intel iMacs. Users can choose to
buy the card and install it themselves for $149 USD, or send their
computer to QuickerTek to have the card installed for only $199 USD.
The latest 802.11n wireless network gear just announced by Apple has
left many users lagging in wireless performance options. This new
upgrade for QuickerTek customers allows MacBook and iMac users to stay
current with the benefits of the fastest wireless. These wireless
networking cards are made to the same specifications as the Apple
factory cards and install into the AirPort card slot. They work with
all 802.11/b/g/n WiFi equipment including Apple AirPort, AirPort
Extreme and the latest 802.11n version of AirPort Extreme introduced at
Macworld Expo.
The user-installed upgrade option includes the 802.11n upgrade card,
tools and illustrated installation manual - everything needed to
complete the upgrade at home.
The installation upgrade service is available using any shipping option
the customer chooses with shipping and handling charges added to the
$199 product cost. The nice part about this option is it allows the
customer to pay for the exact shipping speed and company they prefer.
Since this wireless upgrade uses standard parts, no drivers or other
changes need to be made, nor are additional steps required to use the
higher speed 'N' upgrade.
Compatibility
Intel, flat-panel iMacs
Intel MacBooks
Intel MacBook Pros
Like most QuickerTek products, the 802.11n wireless upgrade card itself
is backed with a one-year warranty on parts and labor. Additional

be purchased online at http://www.quickertek.com and from authorized

Sonnet unveils laptop sleeve |

"Apple® notebook computers
are as beautiful as they are powerful, but their finish is far from
bulletproof. Even so, many owners choose convenience over
protection—MacBook, MaBook Pro, and PowerBook G4 notebooks often travel
in a backpack or briefcase sharing space with an iPod®, phone, keys,
and pens—leaving their pricey cargo vulnerable to scuffs and scratches.
Choose convenience and protection—get 2fit. Stylish and practical, the
Sonnet 2fit sleeve is a form-fitting cover that provides a durable
layer of protection that helps prevent damage to your computer’s finish."
