On Friday October 26 Apple will release OS X 10.5 Before then you need to do some things to make your Mac so that it is ready for that upgrade. There are 300 features! Before you buy into the upgrade check to make sure you can run it.
There’s a video describing some of the features.

Guys, Love the show but the “subscribe to iTunes” link doesn’t include the latest show, the iTunes button doesn’t work in the UK and I had to manually paste the RSS Podcast link into iTunes to get the current show.
It shouldn’t be this hard!

Also not related to this post, but….
I have a request for an upcoming show. I’d like to know more about networking on the Mac. Specifically, I have several computers on my network that don’t see and mount local servers in the way that most do. Most have “Network”, then in that have “My Network” and “Workgroup”. Clicking on “My Network” shows local MacOS servers (including Personal File Sharing).
How does this system work? Where do you look to debug it?
BTW, this episode isn’t on iTunes for me either…

Hey.. I thought a NAS or two was going to be listed? That’d be nice, I have an Infrant (now Netgear) but would love to find a lower cost, quality NAS that does RAID 5 or at least RAID 10. John would that be: not so scary RAID + scary RAID = not so (scary RAID)^2 ???? Just kidding… keep up the great netcasts…
