         <title>How to Partition a Mac Drive</title>
            <link>http://homepage.mac.com/cjrtools/ebooks/howtos/partition-mac-drive.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Yesterday, while reading through messages on some Mac forums, I noticed once again that the question of how to partition a drive for use as a bootable Mac drive appeared several times on different forums. The process is easy when you use Disk Utility, but there are some essential steps that must be followed to ensure that the drive will be bootable. In this short tutorial, I outline the steps needed to partition a drive for either a PPC or Intel Mac.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[I'm a highly organized person and I'm constantly making lists of things I need to do. Although I like to have my To Do lists in iCal, I find that adding them directly to iCal is too time consuming. Also, I prefer to not open iCal every time I want to add a new item to my list. In the past, I've used a Widget called DoBeDo (see my review in the Reviews section of this site), but opening Widgets on my old PPC Mini is too slow. So I tested a few other options for this article and here's the short list of applications I like for creating and managing quick To Do lists.]]></description>

         <title>Using Quick Look in Mac OS X</title>

            <description><![CDATA[One of the great features of Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard is Quick Look. With Quick Look, you can view images, documents and media files just by pressing the spacebar. If you're using Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), you've probably tried Quick Look in the Finder, but that's not the only place you can use it. Quick Look saves me time everyday as I use it in the Finder, in Mail, in Time Machine, and in third-party applications. Here are some ways you can use Quick Look.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[After updating to Mac OS X 10.5.8, I noticed a significant slowdown with my old PPC Mac Mini. I'm not sure if the update was to blame, but I did several maintenance tasks and a reinstall and that improved the situation.

         <title>Reasons to Not Update Mac OS X</title>
            <link>http://homepage.mac.com/cjrtools/ebooks/articles/update-mac-or-not.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Whenever Apple releases new system software updates, there are inevitably users who have problems with the latest version of Mac OS X. I, too, have experienced issues with new updates, but I always make certain to clone my drive before updating in case I need to revert back to the earlier system. For example, when I first updated to Mac OS X 10.5.8 on my PPC Mini, I had some serious problems that forced me, at that time, to revert back to Mac OS X 10.5.7. You might not have the same issues when you update Mac OS X since system configurations differ, but you might find it useful to know what problems might exist with a new update and why you might not want to rush to update your Mac. Although this article was originally written after an update to Mac OS X 10.5.8, most of the issues also apply to updating from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.]]></description>
