    Hi, this is Gary with MacMost Now. Want to see something really cool?
    So every once in a while, something really simple but really cool comes along, and I just got to share it with you. Google has an iPhone app that allows you to search Google and access some of their apps through a free application. I’ll put a link to it in the show notes. But they just updated it, changing its interface. Instead of typing, you can now talk to it.
    So let me show you. Here’s the Google application. All you need to do now is hold the iPhone up to your ear and speak the certain term you want it to search for. ‘Macintosh tutorials.’ It will go ahead and analyze your voice and perform the search. Clicking on one of these will then take you to the webpage.
    Now let’s try something else. ‘Pizza.’ Now not only will it use the word that I spoke, but it’s also going to use my GPS location to find pizza places that are near me.
    Now let’s go ahead and change where we search. We’ll go to ‘Maps’ and we’ll try again. ‘Mexican restaurant’. Now it’ll return a list of results like before. But this time, when we click on them, we’ll go to the iPhone Maps application and it’ll show you the locations of the places you searched for. Here you go.
    Unfortunately, one of the potentially coolest things doesn’t quite work it. It’s the ability to be able to search your contacts. By default, it’s set to iPhone and the web, and if you speak somebody’s name, it should give you their contact information and basically be one step away from voice dialing. However, it doesn’t work with voice recognition. It does work if you type into the Google application, so we know it’s just around the corner.
    Now you can also use this to search for anything that you usually search Google for. So maybe you want to do a conversion or a calculation. Look at episode #140 of MacMost Now to see some examples.
    The app also gives you some alternatives, so if you speak something and it doesn’t get it quite right, you can click on the button and it will list things that it thought it might have been, but it wasn’t its first choice.
    If you like quick little tips like this, you can find more of them in the MacMost email newsletter, which comes out every Thursday. You can subscribe to it at MacMost.com/newsletter. I usually include a quick tip and also a featured iPhone application and a featured Mac OS X application that I like. So check it out. Until next time, this is Gary Rosenzweig, with MacMost Now.

    Hi this is Gary with MacMost Now, today let’s take a look at managing your fonts with font book so some of use our macs for applications that require a lot of fonts for instance if you do desk top publishing or if you do video in this case you got a ton of fonts in your machine now you’ve probably seen font book when you install a font you double click on it and it launches font book and gives you a preview of the font and asks if you want to install it you say yes and than you’re done with it, but you can use font book for more, you can use font book to organize your font collections and you can use font book to validate your fonts and look for the duplicate fonts so here’s font book you can find it in your applications folder font book will give you a list of all the fonts that’s on your machine but also just allow you to narrow it by the ones in your current language that you have your mac set for the ones installed only in your user folder and the ones installed in your entire computer. The ones installed only in your user folder can only be used by that user of the machine while as the rest of the fonts can be used by any user. you also have collections here. you can use some of the preset collections say fixed width just to show you which fonts are fixed width you can also make your own collections by pressing the plus sign here giving it a name and than dragging and dropping any fonts you want to that collection. For instance, let’s go ahead and create my fonts, now we can go ahead and select some fonts that we want and drag them to my fonts now we got a collection of fonts here, now this really comes in useful when we go to another program like text edit. I’m going to type some text and say i want to change the font of that text command t brings out the fonts panel. Now the fonts panel has the collections on the left so you can look through all your fonts here by family or you can actually select one of the collections that you made like my fonts, makes a lot easier to find the fonts that you want. In this font panel you can also do a lot of things you can do in font book, for instance you can go ahead and ass new fonts to a collection without having to go to font book. font book’s also very handy for finding a good font since you can quickly move through the fonts and see previews of them you can find that perfect font for the document you want to produce. Now in Font Book you can also do some other things for instance you can look for duplicate fonts it’s very common to have duplicate fonts either when the same font is stored under a different file name or when you have a copy in the system font folder as well as your user font folder. So for instance here we look and see a dot next to arial, telling us there’s a duplicate of arial we click on it and it gives us all the different versions of arial that its got like bold, bold italic, etcetera. If we look at the regular we see that there’s a one copy here and one copy there. We can view on the right the information, the way i brought this up was i hit command i and which shows the information. without command i you get a preview of the font. So here we got this version of arial and this version of arial. Now if we look through it we can see different things about it for instance this is version 2.6 and it’s library slash fonts slash arial click on this one and we can see that it’s version five point o point one point two x. and it’s library fonts arial dot ttf. which explains how its a duplicate, there’s the file called arial and there’s a file called arial.ttf. now when deciding which one you want to keep you look at the version number but you don’t always want to keep the one with the latest version number it’s very likely for instance that this one which is just library slash fonts slash arial is the one that came with your mac whereas this one with the dot ttf after it was probably installed by an application that you used on your machine now you don’t necessarily have to get rid of these duplicates when in doubt it’s probably best to keep the both there but if you do get rid of them i suggest strongly that you go ahead and archive the ones your getting rid of you can do this easily by first emptying the trash so there’s nothing else in the trash on your mac and than you should delete fonts from your mac from font book they will appear in the trash than instead of emptying the trash move those to another folder like old fonts and maybe save those somewhere or back them up to cd, this way if you end up having a problem later you have an easy way to get these fonts back now you can also validate fonts the way you do that is you simply select a collection or a series of fonts so I’m going to go ahead and command a and then in the file menu there’s a validate validate font function, this is going to bring up this window and it will go through all the fonts in your machine and check to make sure they’re all okay, so you don’t have to go and check all the fonts in your machine but perhaps your having problems with a font from an application you can go ahead and validate that single file to see if there’s any issues sometimes there’s minor problems that are found which means the font will work fine it just doesn’t fit the current standard. So the problem is what happens if a font doesn’t validate and it’s causing you trouble, there’s probably not to much you can do about it, you can go find the original font on the installation cd from the application the font came with or from the installation packages you downloaded but chances are it was that font in the first place that doesn’t validate you can try to find another copy of that font but if the font is specialized for an application you probably won’t be able to so hopefully you don’t find any fonts that are not valid. Another cool thing you can do with Font book is you can disable an entire collection of fonts so for instance say if the set my fonts were some fonts that i rarely use maybe once a year when i do a special newsletter or something, i can go ahead and control click on it and click disable my fonts that will disable all those fonts so applications that don’t use the text panel like say the ones from adobe won’t see those fonts at all, but you can easily go back to Font Book and re-enable those fonts as well you can also disable or enable fonts one by one so i can select a font here control click on it and disable that particular font this doesn’t get rid of it in any way it just makes it unavailable to all the applications. Sometimes you have a font that’s installed in your machine and works okay in all application except one this is because some applications only support certain types of fonts and there are many different types of fonts in this case if you really want to use that font you’re going to have to find a version of that font as a different type you’re either going to have to purchase it or purchase a cd collection of fonts that you can than use to replace the one that’s not showing up. That’s a quick summary of Font Book, Font Panel, and how to manage fonts on your mac. Tomorrow i’ll be sending out the second edition of the MacMost email newsletter, looks like I’m going to be sending out every Thursday to sign up go to MacMost.com/newsletter. Until next time this is Gary Rosenzweig with MacMost Now.

    Hi, this is Gary with MacMost Now
    Today, let’s look at how to uninstall applications in Mac OS X. So theoretically, uninstalling applications is as easy as finding the application in your applications folder, dragging it to the trash, and you’re done.
    But, applications usually store a little bit more information elsewhere on your drive. Most notably, they store some preferences in your preferences folder, but they can also store support files in your library folder. Let’s go and take a look at where to find these extra files, so you can get rid of them, if you want to, when uninstalling an application.
    So of course the first place you want to go is your applications folder. You’ll see all your applications here and you can drag your application to the trash. However, you’ll notice a lot of these applications are a single file and you think: how can this application just be a single file? Aren’t usually applications a whole folder full of stuff?
    Well actually, these single files are folders full of stuff. So for instance, if we click on Firefox here, and we ctrl+click on it, one of the options is ’show package contents’. This will open up an entire other window that contains all the file contents of that package. So in other words, there’s a subset of folders called ‘packages’ that are basically folders full of stuff. That’s how a single application can be a single file even though it must be more complex than that.
    Anyway, getting rid of the folder or the application itself will get rid of most of what you need for deleting an application. So the next place you want to look is your libraries folders, there’s several of them. There’s a library folder in your main hard-drive level for the whole system and there’s one in your user folder. Chances are, anything an application puts in a library folder is going to be in your user library folder. So, look in there, and see really quickly if there’s any folder that at the library level like this Acrobat User Data folder, but most likely it’s going to be in the Application Support folder. You’ll find folders for just about every application you have installed. So you can find the one that you’ve just uninstalled and drag that to the trash as well.
    You want to check every library folder, not just at the system level but also in your user folder and check to see if other users on the same machine, if you have more than one user on the machine, also have an application support folder for that application. Chances are they have, if they’ve ever used it.
    Also in your libraries folders, you’ll find a folder for preferences. Click on that and your going to find even more files. Now, these files are really, really small ones, because they’re just going to be bits of information storing like, where you like your windows and what the options are for the program. So, chances are you’ll probably skip this step if all you’re worried about is reclaiming some hard-drive space. But other than that, you can basically go and look for files that have names that somehow match your application. So, for instance look for com dot and then the name of the developer, say Apple, and then the name of the application dot plist. That’s the standard preference file. However some applications go beyond that and actually go ahead and create a folder, so for instance the spore creature creator created an entire folder in here and put a bunch of stuff in it, so you can just remove that whole folder.
    If you’ve created an aliased application anywhere you want to get rid of that as well. If there’s an alias in the dock, just drag it out of the dock. You can do a search of the application and it will usually come up with any other aliases, or maybe an extra file somewhere that you didn’t find. You can also use Spotlight to go ahead and search for documents created by that application. Now if it’s a standard type application like a word processor, you’ll probably find that you don’t want to get rid of your documents. But if it’s a very specific type application like a game that creates certain game files, you may want to search for that type of file and you might find that you have a few documents in your documents folder that you no longer want around, and you can delete those as well.
    Now, if you don’t want to go through all this work on your own, there are a ton of different freeware and shareware applications that will allow you to go ahead and do this really quickly and easily. Some of them are even more comprehensive, and actually looking at the data that was stored on your computer when the application was installed, to find every single file, and clean it out completely. Some even get rid of files an applications you uninstalled a long time ago. I’m going to include a list of all these applications with this post at MacMost.com, so check that out.

    Gary Rosenzweig: Hello, and welcome to MacMost Now. I’m Gary. Today, let’s talk about searching for yourself on the internet.
    The search for yourself can be deeply spiritual and rewarding. But I’m not talking about that, I’m talking about when you type your name into Google to see if anyone is talking about you. There’s actually some better ways to do it then performing a basic search. Let’s go and take a look.
    So searching for yourself is as simple as going to Google and typing your name in, but if you have a common name, you may actually want to put quotations around it just to narrow the search results a little bit more. But there’s a better way of doing it than this. You can use a service called Google Alerts. So Google Alerts can be found at Google.com/alerts. You don’t have to sign up for anything. All you have to do is type in the search terms just like you would in the Google search engine. Then you select what type of search. ‘Comprehensive’ searches everything, but you can limit it to just news, blogs, the web, video, or discussions in Google groups. Then you can go and say how often you want to be alerted, as it happens, once a day, or once a week, and give your email address. You get a confirmation email, and then from that point on Google will perform regular searches for whatever it is you’re searching for and you get the results via email. So you can search for your name, you can search for your company’s name, you can search for a product that you particularly like, and you can get those results automatically without having to perform the search all the time. If you’re saving your email, it even provides a nice record for you to go back and look at to see who was talking about you or your company.
    Now if you have a Google account and you log in, you have even more control over your Google Alerts. You can go ahead and edit them. You can also receive them as RSS feeds rather than emails. RSS feed means you can add it to an RSS reader, like My Yahoo, or iGoogle, or anything you may use. So instead of getting emails, you have someplace that you can check every day and see the results of a Google search for you or your company.
    Another option you may want to look at is a specialty site like Filtrbox. Filtrbox basically allows you to do the same thing as Google Alerts, but with a lot more controls and lots of really cool graphs and charts and things like that. You can get a free account and track up to five different terms, and there’s pay accounts for more comprehensive things. So if you have a company or professional blog and you really want to get into this, you might want to check out a site like Filtrbox.
    But nowadays it’s not enough just to search the web to see if somebody’s talking about you. You want to also search the Microblogs. Microblogs are places like Twitter. You can easily search sites like Twitter through interfaces that they have.
    So to search for yourself on Twitter, all you need to do is go to search.twitter.com. Then you type in your name or whatever you want to search for, and you get the results. Now, the great thing about it is you can also pick out the RSS feed for this and add it to your RSS reader so it’s easy to keep track of what people are saying about you in Twitter.
    Another place that you can go is TweetScan. TweetScan basically does the same thing, but with a little extra added functionality. So check that out.
    You can also search photos. You can go to Flickr for instance and search for your name there, and you’ll see any photos that have been tagged with your name. You can also search for some of your friends and maybe if you’re in those same photos, add the tag yourself.
    So if you’re a casual web user, you may never have a need for this. But sometimes it might still be good to see if an old friend mentioned you in a blog post, or comment, or tweet. So it’s worth while doing every once in a while or at least knowing how to do it. If you are a web professional, then it’s definitely worth while to see who’s talking about you online, or who’s linking to your blog or webpage. You can also use this to track your competition, so it does come in handy.
    So this week marked the very first edition of the MacMost email newsletter. Hundreds of people subscribed and I sent it out yesterday. You can subscribe at MacMost.com/newsletter. I included a summary of what went on during the week in Apple and Mac news, I included links to all the videos, a quick tip, even product reviews and recommendations. So check it out and sign up before the second edition comes out.

    Gary Rosenzweig: Hi, this is Gary with MacMost Now. Today let’s look at WMV files. What are they, and how can you play them on your Mac?
    OK, so this is a very common problem for Mac users. They get an email from somebody, or they get a link to a file that’s supposed to be a video, but they try to play it and it doesn’t work. Usually, this file has the extension ‘.WMV’ which stands for Windows Media Video. It’s a file kind of like a QuickTime movie that’s specifically made for Windows. You can’t play them on your Mac unless you download some extra bits of software. Let’s take a look at what you need to play these.
    So here’s a closer look at the problem. Here’s an email that I just got with a video file in it. When I double click on the video file, instead of playing it, I get a bunch of gibberish opened up in text edit. Sometimes people get an error message. Sometimes it just doesn’t open at all. But clearly it’s not working right.
    So not too long ago, the way to do this was to download a Windows Media Player for Mac. But now instead, the way to do it is to get an add on from QuickTime that will allow you to play WMV files in QuickTime. You can get that by going to the Microsoft website. You’re just going to go to Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player. Now once you’re there, scroll down on the page and you’ll see a ‘For Mac’ link at the bottom. You go there, and you want to click on the ‘Windows Media Components for QuickTime.’ Click on the ‘Free Download’ button. Then scroll down and you can click on the ‘Download’ button there to start the download.
    What’s lined up is a DMG disk image file. You want to open that up and run the installer inside of it. You go through a bunch of installation dialog confirming that you want to install it. And once you’re done, you’ll also be given a little sales pitch for a fuller product that allows you to create WMV files if you’re a professional. Otherwise, just ignore that stuff and finish the installation.
    Now that it’s installed, here we are back at the same email that we got before. But this time I’m going to double click on the video, and it opens in QuickTime Player. I press the play button and it plays just fine.
    I actually had to quit the QuickTime Player that was already running in order to get the WMV file recognized. But after that, it worked just fine.
    Now I also wanted to mention today, that tomorrow, Thursday, will be the first edition of the MacMost email newsletter. In it, I’m going to include things like a rundown of the videos at least from the last week, some blog posts that I posted recently, a quick tip, and some additional information about this week in Macintosh and Apple news. So be sure to subscribe to it. The way to describe is to go to MacMost.com/newsletter and sign up right there. I hope you do.

    Hi this is Gary with MacMost Now. Today let me share with you some Finder window tricks.
    So here we have the Finder window, now the middle area is called the content area, and you can set it to show icon view, list view, column view or cover flow view, which is really just list view with a cool iPod-like cover flow at the top. The rest of the parts of the window are the sidebar, over here on the left, the toolbar at the top and also the status bar here at the bottom. There is also a lesser known area, called the path bar. Now this isn’t on by default, if you go to View, Show Path Bar, you get it at the bottom, and it shows you the complete path to the current file that’s selected. It’s also active. So for instance if I wanted to go and drag a file to another folder, you see that I can. Now there are preferences for each type of view for the content area. To see the preferences, go to View, Show View Options and you get this little panel here that will sit on top of the finder window. Now, when I’ve selected icon view for instance, I get a whole different set of options here. I can change the size of the icons, the grid spacing, I can change where the label is, put on the right instead of at the bottom. I can even select to show some info, so info like the number of files in a particular folder. I can also change the background to a specific color or a specific image.
    Now, if I switch to the list view, I get a whole different set of options. I can increase the icon size to a larger size. I can also determine what is shown here. Name, Date Modified, Size and Kind are right now, but I can actually go and add Date Created, or say remove Size, and I can add also Version, Comments and Labels. I can also basically click on calculate all sizes which is at the bottom here, which will calculate all the sizes of all the folders. So, now I have folder sizes as well as file sizes. This can be dangerous though if you have a lot of files, a lot of folders in another folder and you click select calculate all sizes, you’re going to get a bit of a lag as it tries to calculate the size of some massive folders. So, that’s why that’s off by default.
    In column view, you get less but one of the interesting things most people don’t know about it is you do have some sorting options. So usually things arranged by name but I can change the arrangement to say arrange by size. So I can actually sort by size or date created, modified, kind and label, inside of column view. Now column view is definitely my favorite view. It allows you to quickly navigate even using the keyboard between different things, so you can go down, move to the right, get a preview of any sort of file that you can preview like a video file or an image file, and you can navigate using the keyboard like that. It’s also the predominant view when you’re actually doing a save or open inside an application. You get basically, you find your column view. So, you get kinda used to using it, so it’s my favorite. The cover flow view has as the same option as list view since it really is pretty much the same thing. If you want to adjust the size of cover flow there’s actually this little pull area here, that you can pull up or down to have larger or smaller icons.
    Now you can customize the sidebar by dragging items to it, for instance if you wanted to have a certain folder like this archive folder here, in the sidebar, I can drag it in and drop it there, and that way I could basically have quick access to it. Now you can further modify the sidebar by going to Finder, Preferences and selecting the sidebar pane, and this gives you a long list of things that are included on a Mac in the sidebar. So, if you don’t want to see your iDisk or External Disks or inserted CDs or just about anything in the sidebar to automatically appear, you can uncheck it and it will go away. Also, it will control what is in the ’search for’ are here. You can do anything you want really to change the contents of the sidebar.
    Now you can customize the toolbar by going to View, Customize Toolbar, and it brings up this entire menu here of things you can drag and drop on to the toolbar. So for instance, the very useful Path button is not included by default, you can just drag it to the top and if you find that you don’t really need to use the quick view button you can drag that off. So you can rearrange things or you can set things back to the default views. Now, when you’re done you have your new settings and you can use the new items that are there.
    Another cool thing you can do with the toolbar is you can add any application to it, so lets go to the Applications folder, and say I want to go ahead and add TextEdit there, I drag it to the drop, and usually I find you have to wait about a second for it to appear. Probably verifies it’s an application, and then you can drag it there. Now I’ve got this icon here that’s a shortcut to TextEdit. Not only could I click on it to launch TextEdit but I can actually drag and drop files to it. So, for instance, I could drag this here and it opens it up in TextEdit. It’s very handy if you use one application a lot.
    Now handy tips likes these Finder tricks are going to be exactly the kind of things I’m going to put in new MacMost email newsletter. That’s going to start at the end of this week. To sign up for it, go to MacMost.com/newsletter. So the idea is, that every week I’ll send out an email to everyone that subscribes, I’m going to put some Macintosh tips in there, maybe some iPhone tips, I’m gonna list the videos that I did during the week and point to other things like blog posts, maybe even ask for some feedback. So signup for the newsletter now. Thanks a lot. Until next time, this is Gary Rosenzweig with MacMost Now.

    GARY: Hi, this is Gary with MacMost Now. Today let’s take a look at the new Google G1 Android Phone. So with me today is Jay Shaffer, whose- has a Google G1 Android Phone.
    JAY: Yeah.
    GARY: Let’s take a look at it.
    JAY: So, y’know, one of the things that came with it is this neat neoprene uh, sock you can put it into to protect it. Heh, you don’t get that with an iPhone.
    GARY: Well, you take what you can get.
    JAY: Okay.
    GARY: So here it is, it looks pretty cool. It- the flip-out keyboard, show us the, uh, keyboard everybody’s talking about.
    JAY: Yeah. Well, the cool thing is that it’s got a ‘QWERTY’ keyboard and, uh, you can do thumb-typing on it, or set it down on the thing and actually use your finger.
    GARY: Right.
    JAY: Uh… Has some function keys, and the other cool thing that a lot of people don’t realize is that you kind of - on your right hand, you can use this track-ball on, on the, on your thumb.
    GARY: So it’s got a track-ball and the touch-screen.
    JAY: Yeah. So that’s a, kind of a really cool feature. And so when you’re actually in this kind of a landscape mode, is that being able to thumb-type and then just being able to select things with this track-ball, you know, it’s only a two dimensional track-ball, but it does do select if you push down.
    GARY: Excellent. Okay. So. So, now, this is the Google phone.
    JAY: Right.
    GARY: So… It works with Google applications.
    JAY: Yeah, that’s basically the whole idea is to keep it on the cloud.
    GARY: Okay.
    JAY: Is.. Is… You could almost call it the Cloud Phone.
    GARY: Cloud Phone. I like that.
    JAY: Heh, they, they like cloudiness. Alright, so it’s that basically all your contacts are your Google contacts, your GMail is free, uh, your Google Chat is free, but SMS is not. So-
    GARY: Right. So you’ve got GMail, you’ve got Google Calendar, you’ve got GChat, uh, you’ve got your contacts in GMail. And these are all free services that a lot of people have been using for a long time.
    JAY: Right. And then it’s got its own web browser, which of course you can use the Google applications on, for example, if you wanted to use Google Docs or Google Spreadsheets, you can actually use that.
    GARY: Ah, okay.
    JAY: And one of the cool features is that this has is cut and paste, actually.
    GARY: Heh, Wow! what an innovation. So it’s pretty comparable to the iPhone in a lot of the hardware features.
    JAY: Right.
    GARY: But it really differs in how the software implementation works.
    JAY: Yeah.
    GARY: And with, uh, the iPhone, you’re going to use all the Mac applications or Exchange and Outlook if you were on Windows. With the ‘gPhone’, you’re going to actually use all the Google applications.
    JAY: Right.
    GARY: So a big of advantage the Android operating system of course is the ability for third-party developers to create their own applications.
    JAY: Right. So they call that the ‘Market’ instead of the ‘Store’ and so you can go to the Market at any time. Whoops, let’s see, I went, I actually went to the Map there… And, uh, I’ve got kinda big fingers. And so we can look at Applications, it has games, of course, the big one, of course, is being Namco’s Pac-Man, that was their their their biggest score.
    GARY: Pac-Man, yeah, they feature that. Another great innovation. Cutting edge, 1982.
    JAY: Right? And then, and then they have a bunch of uh, all this stuff for Twitter, social networking, you can get weather, uh… Stuff like that. And so the applications, uh, the whole market place, is kind of growing. It’s, uh, it’s not bad.
    GARY: Any Mac-specific applications?
    JAY: One of mine’ve got here is called TunesRemote, which allows you if you have music sharing set up on your iTunes, is that then you can use this as a remote control to play the music from your computer from across the room, or something like that.
    GARY: So, with this phone, of course you can’t really sync with mail or contacts on your Mac. The idea is if you use those programs, you would sync with Google’s applications, and there are a lot of ways to do that that’re already pretty well established. And then you would use GMail. Now, can you use like POP email on the phone?
    JAY: Uh, one of the things is you get basically one POP account with the phone. So there is an email application that you could either make as an IMAP or a POP account. And of course the way that the T-Mobile account works is that they count those messages the same way that they would count an SMS message or as a chat message. So you get, ah, 400 messages, uh, with for, uh, as part of the basic plan.
    GARY: Basic plan. But you can do an unlimited plan, too.
    JAY: Yeah, you can do an unlimited plan for $10 more.
    GARY: But it doesn’t sound like it’s very strong if you- if you’re actually using POP email, you’d want to use GMail with this.
    JAY: Right. What I did is I basically took my POP account and I forwarded it over to my GMail account. And so, but with the GMail tags, I basically know this is all of my POP account’s coming into my GMail account and it sorts them really nicely with the tags and that sort of thing.
    GARY: Now if you do plug that into your Mac, via your USB, do you get anything?
    JAY: Uh, yeah, well, you, there’s actually this see uses a compact SD card, a micro SD card, so you can go up to, uh, 8 gigs on it, and I don’t know why you can’t go to 16 gigs, I’ve just read that you can only go up to 8 gigs, and so it just sees it as a USB drive. And so that you manipulate all of your music, your ringtones, that sort of thing, ah, just as if it was a USB drive. One of the cool things is, that for ringtones, for example, is I took the MacMost ringtones, the MP3 ringtones.
    GARY: Okay. Our free ringtones. Yeah.
    JAY: Our free ringtones. And I went and I put those into a directory called ringtones in my music folder in here, and they’re all available on the phone.
    GARY: So you took the MP3 versions of them.
    JAY: Right.
    GARY: Not the M4R versions, we have both, and put ‘em on there. Great.
