Mon, 12 December 2005 Dealing with memory loss on this weeks "The Mac Attack"! (Got your attention?) I discuss how memory works and is used in OS X. Some of the other topics discussed this week are - Why is Safari such a memory hog? 3rd party warranties and Apple, using your iTunes music library with more than one computer, drive partitioning, and more. What are some of your "can't live without" applications? Email your shareware, freeware & commercial software suggestions. If there is a plug-in or widget you "can't live without" send those suggestions along too. Visit themacattack.us for this weeks links:
