=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/865>

  Would you buy a 23-inch MacBook? It's not an Apple product: Jeff
  Porten describes how he turned an ailing 17-inch PowerBook G4 into a
  second monitor for his MacBook. Plus, given the increased focus on
  Mac security recently, John O'Fallon offers practical precautions
  for fending off most attacks. Also in this issue, Apple adds color
  to the iPod shuffle line and settles its long-running dispute with
  the Beatles' Apple Corps; Nolobe acquires Interarchy and ships
  Interarchy 8.5; Open Door Networks updates its line of security
  products; the AirPort Extreme starts shipping with new details about
  its wireless capabilities; and Macinstruct opens a Mac tutorial
  contest with Adam, Tonya, and Joe as judges. Lastly, check out the
  first of our "Month of Apple Sales" offers on bundles of
  Mac-specific Take Control ebooks!
