The December issue of About This Particular Macintosh is now available. We wrap up our fourteenth year of publishing beginning with some fantastic cover art courtesy of our friend Catherine. Mike ponders Apple's sales strategy post-Black Friday, given the downturn in the economy, while Mark comments on the oft-overlooked Services menu. GTDers, rejoice, for Ed has another installment, this time focusing on non-typical lists, or, in humanspeak, "things that don't conveniently fall in to our normal lists or categories". Ed also updates the application list for the final time this year; if you can't find an app to help you get things done, well, then you're just not trying. Or reading ATPM each month. Our friend Mike Shields returns from a long hiatus with perspective from a Mac user in Hollywood. Mike recently took part in the 168 Project, and discusses how you, too, can use your Mac to shoot an almost no-budget flick. Sylvester offers a guide for everyone who would like to run a second monitor on their Mac. Before I brought my old G4 Cube out of retirement, I was doing this with my 20-inch iMac and an older 19-inch LCD, and I confess, I do miss the extra screen real estate. Lee brings us some gorgeous shots of the Rocky Mountain National Forest in this month's desktop pictures section, including some widescreen shots. My personal favorite is number three. Just in time for the holiday buying season, we have a slew of product reviews to assist you in purchasing decisions for the Mac users on your list, or for yourself! Linus takes us through the new version of Art Text, while Ed lugs around Tom Bihn's Checkpoint Flyer, a bag which allows travelers to keep their laptop in the bag without being hassled by the TSA. Lee puts the Finder-based FTP client ExpanDrive through its paces, as Paul summarizes the tome, Foundations of Mac OS X Leopard Security. If you're unable to hit the links on a regular basis, Ed may have found a solution for you with GL Golf. Finally, Lee looks at the iRecord Pro to see if it measures up to its predecessor. As usual, ATPM is available in a variety of formats for your reading pleasure. On behalf of the ATPM staff, thank you for reading. Concluding fourteen years of publication is quite a milestone, and we're looking forward to continuing the standards we've set forth as we enter year fifteen. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
