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?

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,
