Mac OS X Hints will be closed for the new year's holiday tomorrow and Friday, returning Monday with the usual hints -- I'll be at Macworld Expo next week, checking out the latest in tech toys along with the rest of the mob. If you're going to be at the show, feel free to stop by and introduce yourself, as I love meeting readers and contributors. I've posted my currently-known schedule in the 'read more' part of this message.
For entertainment during our down time, please contribute to our latest poll about how much (or little) you use the Places section of the Finder's sidebar. Thanks to Perceval for the poll suggestion.
My Expo schedule, at least as I know it now...
Tue Jan 6:
12:30pm - 1:30pm -- Podcast in the Macworld booth on the show floor
2:30pm - 3:30pm -- Podcast in the Macworld booth
Wed Jan 7:
2:00pm - 2:15pm -- Giving away free stuff in the Macworld booth
Thu Jan 8:
1:00pm - 2:15pm -- Best of Mac OS X Hints presentation, Room 2001
3:00pm - 4:15pm -- Ask the Editors, Room 2001
The Ask the Editors session could be interesting (or it could be not so interesting). Four Macworld editors (myself, Jason Snell, Dan Frakes, and Chris Breen) will take questions on whatever Apple- or tech-related subjects the audience cares to ask (no troubleshooting help, though). We're hoping the open format will lead to a good discussion on products to solve certain needs, which Mac might make the best buy for a switcher, and so on...but really, this is an experiment, so we'll see how it goes.
Anyway, if you're at the show, I'd love the chance to say hi in person; it's always nice to meet the folks who make this site so great!
