TidBITS#1008/04-Jan-2010
========================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/1008>

  We launch into 2010 with not one, but two new ways to read TidBITS
  while on the go. We're especially pleased to announce the free
  TidBITS News app for the iPhone and iPod touch, and those who prefer
  the Kindle can now subscribe to TidBITS on that platform as well.
  And what to read? Jeff Carlson works around a bandwidth limitation
  to install a specific printer driver from the Gutenprint collection,
  Glenn Fleishman offers helpful tips on improving Wi-Fi performance
  in the 5 GHz band, and Joe Kissell delves into the past and present
  of right-clicking on the Mac (or is that Control-clicking?). Notable
  software releases since our last issue in December include Things
  1.2.8, WireTap Anywhere 1.0.6, 27-inch iMac Graphics Firmware Update
  1.0, Keyboard Maestro 4.0.1, Mail Services Update 1.0, Firefox
  3.5.6, Pro Tools 8.0.3, Hazel 2.3.5, Epson Printer Drivers 2.2 for
  Mac OS X 10.6.1, and Lexmark Printer Drivers 2.2 for Mac OS X 10.6.
