We've talked in the past about emailing and attaching
things, but there's another way we haven't talked about.
It's hidng right in front of us all the time, get a load of
this. Let's say you're in TextEdit working on your
masterpiece. Now, you want to send attached to an email. Of
course, you have to save it before you send it so it isn't
"untitled". Let's call it A Name. The file name appears in
the top bar and so does an icon. Right, just like always.
Yeah, but THAT icon IS your file! Whoa, say that again!
Yeah, but THAT icon IS your file! What if I drag the icon
from the title bar down to Mail? Whoa again! Cool! Mail
starts up and you're ready to send the attached file. This
icon trick works with so many apps, not just TextEdit. Try
it and see!

iTunes, which continues to be one of our groups favorite
programs, has a little feature that perhaps you've never
noticed. That's the word Podcasts. Podcasts are up there
with sliced bread. Podcasts are audio "broadcast" for your
iPod. If we were online we'd go to the podcast section of
the iTunes store - there's a lot of them! And they're free,
too! David Pogue's comrade has a good one.
Russell Brown has a tips pod cast for photo/ video.
Check it out.
