MacMost specializes in tutorials, tips and techniques of the “how-to” variety, as opposed to “fix-it” questions that are more about something not working as expected.2/17/10
Hi Gary,
I recently started using an AppleScript to update my Podcasts while I sleep. However, I am not totally comfortable with leaving my AirPort running all night long. Is there an AppleScript to turn it on/off at a specific time?
Love your Podcast and book.

Is it safe to move the iChat and the Microsoft User Data directory (I have Office for Mac installed) to another folder inside my user directory?
I’m trying to tidy things up a bit and the flat directory I have is getting a bit unwieldy.

Hello Gary,
I read your tweet regarding you mentioned that you made your website ready for iPad visitors. It would be great and really kind of you if you were willing to share the knowledge/code on how to do this.
Thanks a million,
