G Rated Tips for OS X

Developing PhotoShop skills
Would you like to learn the steps necessary to use PhotoShop, or for teachers PhotoShop Elements, to clean up old, stained, wrinkled and spotted photos or the steps necessary to put PowerPoint slides into iMovie? Then move that mouse over this link at http://www.creativemac.com to check out the tutorials.

Blocking student access
As the administrator in OS X, you may want to use the Terminal or NetInfo Manager, but do you want students to access these programs? Of course not. So move them from the Utilities folder found in the Applications folder to any location in your home folder. You can still access the programs but the students will not have that privilege.

Gifts for the Mac lover
As the giving season approaches, what can you find for the Mac lovers in your life to avoid being the Grinch in their lives? Items below were listed in MacAddict, December 2003:

For the video enthusiast, a three-pack of DVD+R that looks like a film reel. $9.99, www.verbatim.com.
For the person with a few too many USB devices, a tiny semi-self-powered three-port hub. $27.95, www.drbott.com
For the person with the most music downloads, a set of blue, green, violet and pink CDs that look like old vinyl records. $10.60, www.verbatim.com.
My personal recommendation is a subscription to MacAddict. A worthwhile investment for keeping up with Mac stuff and how to use it.
