TidBITS#924/14-Apr-08
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/924>

  Do you find dialing the phone to be an unnecessary hassle,
  considering that all your phone numbers are stored somewhere on your
  Mac? Matt Neuburg does too, so read on for his review of the slick
  new phone dialing tool Dialectic. Also this week, Tonya makes the
  difficult (and not entirely successful) jump from Eudora to Apple
  Mail, Jeff explains how to configure Mail to avoid iCal spam, and
  Adam looks at the new Apple Enthusiast site and VMware Fusion video
  contest. We also note that the audio edition of TidBITS is now
  available in the iTunes Store's podcast directory for easy
  subscriptions. On the release front, we point to a slew of firmware
  updates from Apple, a major upgrade for the macro utility Keyboard
  Maestro, the long-promised Final Cut Server, and the "Macworld Mac
  OS X Hints Superguide." Lastly, in the TidBITS Watchlist, we note
  the releases of Airfoil Speakers for Linux, Apple's Aluminum
  Keyboard Firmware Update and Pro Applications Update 2008-01,
  iGlasses 2.1, OmniWeb 5.7, and Adobe's Photoshop Lightroom 1.4.1 and
  Camera Raw 4.4.1.
