Hello all,

The weather has been up and down again, with snow one day, rain the next, but always something. I understand there are places where there really isn’t weather as I understand the term…rapid shifts in temperature, precipitation, and the extremes of seasons. I can’t decide if that would be great or horrible.

Anyway — this week, two of our consultants have contributions. David gives us a blow-by-blow of his experience with an extremely difficult repair, and Jason rediscovers that unique product the Mac mini. And Carl has some tips on reclaiming iTunes, if, like me, you were shocked after upgrading to iTunes ’11.

Of the events in Connecticut, I must say that as a parent (and human being), I am stunned by the whole thing. I have been deeply saddened and I have been hugging my kids a lot the last few days. To anyone reading this who was directly affected, you have my deepest sympathy and sincere condolences.

Thanks for reading.
