Special Book Excerpt
Here's the third chapter of a special book excerpt by Claudyne Wilder and Jennifer Rotondo. With this book, Point, Click, and Wow!, you'll learn how to put together more compelling presentations with hundreds of tips and techniques you can't get anywhere else. This chapter gives you guidelines to use with the technology portion of your presentation. You will also read stories from over one hundred people who shared with us their technology successes and failures.
An incremental improvement, but not perfect
Once again, Apple has raised the bar for its G4 line of workstations. Not only have its dual processors gotten a speed bump from 1GHz to 1.25GHz, but the system now supports faster DDR memory and comes pre-loaded with the newest version of OS X, called Jaguar (version 10.2). In this review, we take a look at this new machine, and then run some benchmarks using Adobe After Effects 5.5 and Photoshop 7, to see just how much faster this new box is compared to its predecessor, the dual 1GHz G4.

Cloth, rags, sponges and rollers
This week we kick off a new Friday feature here at DMN: free downloads. Call it gratitude for your readership. Call it a blatant bribe to help us generate more page views. Heck, call it whatever you want. It's free! But you have to get to the end of the article to download it....
Maintaining the editability of text with a fill image
When people ask me where to begin learning Adobe Photoshop, I respond, "Learn by trying." Training materials are good for reference sometimes, but you're never going to learn the program thoroughly unless you learn how to find the right answers--more often the right questions--for yourself. However, as I've learned for myself recently, once you find the answer, it's sometimes beneficial to keep looking for new answers for the same problem. Hence today's tutorial.
Don't be afraid of the big bad smb.conf
In part 1 of this tutorial, Dave Nagel introduced you to the magical world of Jaguar's native Windows file sharing, for those of us who are forced to interact with one (or, heaven forbid, more than one) Windows machine(s) on a daily basis. For many, that's as much or more than you'll ever need in order to make your beloved Mac a good corporate citizen, but for those who demand a few more options than Uncle Steve decided to include by default, don't fret. With the help of some freeware, you can easily set a bunch of hidden settings to truly make your Mac just another faceless node in the vast machine of Windows boxen on your network. That is, if you're into that sort of thing.
