Thinking about switching to a Mac? By Robert Jensen
My original plan was for this to be a straightforward review of Apple's updated 24-inch iMac that was announced in April. In such cases I ask the manufacturer for a review unit, they send it to me on loan, I TEST it for a few weeks, write my review and finally pack everything back in its box and ship it back.

You can either turn a disk into a FireWire or USB 2.0 drive, or you can put it in an enclosure that lets it act as network attached storage (NAS). So don't throw those old hard disks away, at least not until you've read about how easy it is to dress them up in a brand new enclosure. Using the ADS Dual-Link Drive Kit, as well as the ADS NAS Drive Kit, we turned lemons into lemonade.

The Mac Entertainment Hub, Part 1 By Dave Nagel
Try this experiment: Head into the home theater department of your friendly, local electronics retailer, and tell the salesman you want to build a surround system around your computer.

Setting Up for DTS Playback on the Mac By Dave Nagel
Apple's DVD Studio Pro 3 now includes the ability to import DTS audio into your projects, but there's one problem.
