TidBITS#820/13-Mar-06
=====================

  Does the iPod halo effect exist, or is it just a Mac myth?
  In this week's issue, a Windows user returns to the Apple fold
  and describes how the design and ease of use of the iPod led
  him to purchase a MacBook Pro (with some reservations). Also in
  this issue, Glenn Fleishman follows up last week's article on
  ultrawideband data speeds, and we note the release of Bare Bones
  Software's Yojimbo 1.1 and an unexpectedly late date for the
  next Apple Worldwide Developer Conference. Finally, check out
  Joe Kissell's new ebook, "Take Control of Maintaining Your Mac".
