RAIDBank4 – Review
Briefly described, the RAIDBank4 is a 4.85 x 6.5 x 9.1 inch box which holds four SATA hard drives (in this case, there were four decent quality Western Digital 500 GB drives). Micronet bills this unit as the "world’s smallest RAID". While I don’t know this to be true, I don’t think it could get much smaller.

Features I like and don’t about Adobe Illustrator CS4
I’m still not completely sold on this new feature but have found myself using it quite often. Maybe I’m just getting too old to deal with change even if it is for the better.
Not A Review – Microsoft Office 2008
I was really looking forward to getting my hands on Office 2008 a year ago. It looked promising, an update to a major Macintosh software title four years in the making. I won’t pretend that I really wanted this software to be great. I always hope software for the Macintosh platform is great. And having read many online reviews, as well as David Cohen’s first-hand reports, on Microsoft Office 2007 for Windows, I had high hopes.

Activetrax on the go audio – Review
Have you ever run out of battery power for an external iPod speaker system? I have two teens who love to play music from their iPods on external speakers. I find these little speakers eat AA batteries like candy. There must be a better way. Take a look at a “green†solution from Seattle Sports.

Mophie Radura iPod Cases – Review
I prefer iPod cases that are clear. I love the look of iPods in general and think it is a shame to cover them up with a case that hides the unit. Mophie’s Radura cases fit my iPod case criteria.

BlueAnt V1 Voice Control Bluetooth headset – Review
While I’ve long been a cellphone user, I’ve never taken to using a Bluetooth headset. Each time I see a person with one stuck in an ear, my first reaction is that they have some horrible growth on the side of their head, and why don’t they get it surgically removed. However, the Weeks Division of MyMac Labs recently received an evaluation unit of BlueAnt’s V1 Voice Control headset. I swallowed my fashion concerns, and gave the V1 a try during a four-day business trip.
