Writer A. D. Coleman bids farewell to end-of-life application AppleWorks, reminisces about his love affairs (and one-night stands) with other word processors and productivity suites WordPerfect, Mariner Write, and NeoOffice, and takes the plunge at long last, making himself at home in a stripped-down, customized version of Microsoft's Office for Mac 2008's latest iteration of Word.

Achieving an accurate white balance has been the bane of photographers working in color since the invention of color photography. Fast-forward to the digital age, and white balance is simply a click away, or at least so most people think. Set your camera to automatic white balance and usually the results are reasonably good. So, what do you do if you want really accurate color balance? The key is the use of a calibrated target such as the ExpoDisc or CBL's Color Balance Lens so you can accurately and quickly set a custom white balance.

Internationally published author and self-proclaimed "geezer geek" A. D. Coleman used FileMaker Pro 9 and "lateral thinking" to evolve IP-Proposal Tracker, a Filemaker Pro 9 solution that enables him to track his submissions of manuscripts, other items of intellectual property that he seeks to publish, plus proposals for grants and various forms of support.

Madden NFL 08 is the latest in a long series of football sim games, and it is one of the most fun to play. Madden is one of the few games that publisher EA Games has released for the Mac, along with other titles such as Need For Speed: Carbon and Battlefield 2142. Madden is one of the better games they have released, in my opinion, and the 08 version gives you all the excitement and fun as the previous Madden football games.

This crowd is getting anxious, I realize. Oh, why didn't we just buy a drum machine? At least a drum machine might show up to gigs on time. Luckily, I don't have to wait much longer since, in a rather Who-esque fashion, we pluck out an audience member who claims to be a decent drummer. (Drummers!) So with our percussionist finally in place, I start the opening chords to Foghat's Slow Ride and my band kicks in, too. I'm not really at a gig, just playing Aspyr Media's new title, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, for the Mac.

Audiophiles are a tough bunch to please. If you've ever walked into the showroom of a high-end audio store, you would be hard pressed to find systems priced less than ten grand at the low-end. Naturally, the secret desire of most audiophiles is that bargain system that sounds as good as the outrageously priced one. While it's a bit of an impossible dream, when an affordable product emerges that deserves serious consideration, an underground whispering campaign begins. Check out the Oppo DV-980H, an affordable Universal DVD player that can play normal DVDs and CDs, but also SACD and DVD-A formats in addition to a slew of others.

Now that laptops have smooth cases, boasting the cleanest uncluttered lines this side of a stealth bomber, it's also getting tougher to actually carry them without fear of dropping them as they slide out of your grip. Last year we reviewed a handle for the MacBook Pro and PowerBook G4, so when we received the Fins-Up "Fin" we were intrigued. A simple idea done right, the Fin looks like a shark's fin, made of aluminum.
