I take a peek in the 'Utility Folder' on this weeks "The Mac Attack". I introduce some of the applications and utilities you may of seen but might not know what they do or what they can do for you. This is prep for some of the shows I am planning for in January that will focus on some of these application and utilities in more detail. It's a short show this week, but I will be back with a full length episode next week. Happy New Year!

Episode #13, the episode that almost wasn't... Sorry about the late show release this week.
Starting on this weeks - late - episode of "The Mac Attack" I'm going to dive into the switcher stories that I have received and discuss some basic and advanced switcher tips, tricks, & hints. Now you die-hard Mac users don't go anywhere, even if you have been using a Mac since 1984 there's a lot of information on this show you can use too. Oops, I forgot to mention that the November issue of macCompanion is out. You can read the web based version now. The downloadable PDF version of the ezine will be out in a few days. I have a tech article and two book reviews in the November issue (more shameless self-promotion). Visit themacattack.us for this weeks links:
Verbose boot -> sudo nvram boot-args="-v"
