http://www.IntelligentAssistance.com Sam's Cool Mac Pick's - November 27th 2004Altec Lansing's InMotion iM3 and InMotion iM3 MiniCoolest portable iPod speaker system keeps on getting better! When Altec created it's first InMotion speaker, iPod owners rejoiced having a smart way to carry their songs and speakers with them. The iM3 and iM3 mini are both small enough to travel with and carry in a briefcase or backpack. Both are battery operated and come with an A/C adapter. I use the iM3 as a perfect clock radio as the iPod has a built in alarm clock feature that turns on to one's desired Playlist. The iM3 works with all iPod/Hp (docking) with exception to the iPod photo. Both InMotion systems come with an audio cable that will attach older iPods to the auxiliary jack. And if you really want to go big, head to Waterfield Designs for the iPod InMotion case - http://www.sfbags.comUltimate portable audio system for the iPod!This paper-back-sized, ultra-portable, battery-operated stereo system is the perfect companion for your iPod. A highly efficient Class D amplifier powers four full-range micro drivers to deliver a full spectrum of pure, distinct sound, while the revolutionary MaxxBass technology allows listeners to enjoy deep bass without lugging around a subwoofer. Best of all, connectivity is as easy as placing your iPod or iPod mini into the built-in dock or connecting it through the auxiliary port. InMotion iM3

Spice up your Keynote presentations without all the effort of designing them yourself. KeynoteUser.com takes presentations to the next level. Choose from many different themes, complete with dozens of extra shapes, symbols, and even custom slide parts that will help communicate your message. Don't compare this with a simple Theme Pack that still contains most of Apple's work with a few extra bullets or backgrounds thrown in. These are completely original Themes with every detail looked into. All the charts have custom matching colors. The chart gridline colors have been set, even if they are turned off. The Font and Shape colors have been set. Table lines and fonts were set. KeynoteUser even edits the XML files inside the themes to make sure there was nothing left over from Apple in there that would slip through (like missed font changes). With many more Master Slides than the standard Apple theme, and matching extras that can be used to spice up your slides, you can build presentations that stand above the rest. If you've been messing with making your own themes for business presentations and are just falling short, or are tired of using the themes that came with Keynote, you need to check out KeynoteUser.com.
Your presentations will look as if you hired a designer to create them for you.
