TidBITS#925/21-Apr-08
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/925>

  TidBITS is 18 this week! That's at least 234 in Internet years, but
  we're not slowing down any time soon. To celebrate, Adam takes a
  stroll down memory lane to see just how far the Macintosh world has
  come since 1990, and we offer a special 50-percent-off sale for all
  Take Control ebooks. Also this week, Glenn uses TheCodingMonkeys'
  Port Map to punch holes in his network (in a sensitive, New Age way,
  of course), and also runs down the latest "unlimited" calling plan,
  this time from voice-over-IP provider Skype. We also cover the
  releases of Safari 3.1.1 and BusySync 2.0, and, in the TidBITS
  Watchlist, look briefly at updates to Apple TV, Mactracker,
  1Password, Teleport, Camino, Interarchy, ConceptDraw, Google Earth,
  and Typinator.
