Letter from the CEO
Happy Holy-Days!
By Robert Pritchett
Okay, now that is out of the way, let’s get down to business.
This month we look at a few things that interest us and hopefully will interest you.
We have some “lists of 10s” for Freeware, Shareware and Mac Security by Harry {doc} Babad, Tim Verpoorten and Kale Feelhaver as we look back at 2006. We also added Leland Scott’s excellent 10 Podcast apps to the PDF version of the magazine.
And we also have our macCompanion MagCast and AudioCast over on iTunes and Wayne Lefevre does a great job talking those up in his column this month in MacFevere.
And we gathered a few more columns, reviews for books, games hardware and software for your enlightenment and enjoyment by excellent macCompanion staff. Without their invaluable input – and yours – macCompanion would not be possible.
I Love My Mac Campaign
In anticipation of MacWorld Expo in January - and beyond - we have begun the Macintosh Professional Network (MPN) “I Love My Mac” campaign. We are garnering subscriptions for the websites and podcasts that make up the Macintosh Professional Network. Register on those sites, subscribe to the podcasts and go to the link above to fill out the Gift-Away form so we can get back to you if your name is picked from the list. Oh, and please let the rest of the world know so they can join in the fun as well! Our goal is to pump up to over 3 million page views per month and aggregate that across all our fellow macCompanions, who are a part of MPN. You can make it happen! Just talk us up and spread the news. Shout it out!
What else is going on? We will be working on a new look and feel for the macCompanion website and to macCompanion magazine, as we improve the format, etc. in 2007. We want to make the articles online “commentable”, so we can get some real-time feedback and give you your “15 minutes of fame”. And expect to see some kind of hard-copy version of macCompanion Magazine in 2007 as well. Plans currently are for it to be based out of Great Britain as a print-on-demand quarterly.
Meanwhile, please patronize our affiliates and advertisers at http://www.maccompanion.com, so our Holy-days will be bright.
May each of you have a prosperous and healthy New Year, as you continue to learn and experience the Macintosh environment. Please be safe during the Holy-day season and enjoy your families!
