Review
I have several small, 2.5†external drives that I use for moving data between Macs, or bringing data back and forth to my workplace, or to carry with me on business trips packed with movies. They all look like a typical hard drive case, except this one. I would call this the “sexiest†looking 2.5†drive case I’ve ever seen. Read the review and see if you don’t agree.
Other World Computing NASPerform Network Storage – Review
I’ve looked at network storage devices from afar, mostly because of price, and almost all of them were Windows based, but really thought they looked very useful. The OWC NASPerform (NP) utilizes NDAS technology allowing it to connect a storage device directly to a network with or without a server. The prices are pretty good at OWC, and our favorite computer platform is fully supported finally, so it was time for this Mac user to jump in.

Dreamweaver
I’ve read reviews about Dreamweaver, comparisons between it and GoLive, and even comparisons between different versions of Dreamweaver. What I haven’t read is how people use the program. So rather than write another review about its’ features I decided I would write about how I use Dreamweaver (DW) CS 3, version 9.

Review
Are you looking to add external ports and more storage to your home office set-up? Then look no further than Newer Technologies miniStack v3. This unit works very well with a Mac mini, but other Mac users will also find this unit a worthwhile addition.
