Everyone knows that when it comes to Music and Graphics you can’t beat a Mac, and one of the most popular computers with students everywhere is Apple’s MacBook. The MacBook handles everything that students have come to expect from Apple – style, grace and a very small footprint. Steve looks at the main features and benefits of this popular notebook. When it comes to working on essays or assignments the MacBook can run a wide range of today’s popular applications such as Microsoft Office, or Apples own Pages and Numbers. It even does Windows!

But when the school work is over, the MacBook really shines.  It comes bundled with Apple’s amazing iLife suite of digital lifestyle applications enriching student life with photos, music, and video, or lets them  cruise the internet using Apple’s popular Safari browser.

Caroline Drury drops in and hooks her X-box 360 up to her Mac using Nullrivers Connect 360 software. The connect 360 lets you use the X-box as a wireless hub to view photos, music and videos on your television that are stored on your Mac

Microsoft Office

Whether you're a student, small business owner, or a volume-license business customer, Microsoft has an Office 2003 Edition that's right for you. Each edition builds on the essential combination of Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook adding on tools tailored to your needs. Each one of these programs is powerful by itself, but Microsoft Office ties them together beautifully and the sum ends up greater than the parts! Today we are going to look at Publisher which is available in both the Professional and Small Bussiness editions.

Everyone Needs a Mac!

We have done quite a few shows on the Mac, most of you out there know I play on both sides of the fence. This week we are going to look at the Mac from a new perspective ... the Windows perspective. No we aren't going to have an old western shootout to see who is standing at the end, we are going to show you the harmony that can exist, yes one household, one network, one office, with both Windows and Mac co-existing happily.
