This very special TMA clocks in at 50 minutes and almost half this episode is dedicated to answering listener email and voicemail. Some of the topics discussed this week are - physically securing your mac, Apple software updates, iPod Nano's easily scratched screen, software suggestions, finder issues, and more.

This weeks "The Mac Attack" is all about keeping your Mac running it's best (and you don't even have to buy it sneakers). I discuss OS X maintenance along with answering listener email and more.

"The Mac Attack" finally has it's very own domain - www.themacattack.us - there is no need to change anything on your part. All old links and feeds still work and will continue to do so.
