    As “usual” here are my notes:

    Projects – The launch CastCount (http://www.castcount.com) went OK, although I think it suffered because of the backlash against MAAD. I happen tao agree with a lot of the negative comments BUT I don’t see why people have to be so hash and critical. That does seem to be an increasing trend I am noticing more on more on forums and social networking sites. People seem to think it is smart, or clever to be critical. It is a monority, but there seems to be too much arrogance and self importance in the Mac community at the moment, as if the end users think they have a “right” to free stuff etc. On the Dual Screen (http://myapplestuff.com/mac-mini-dual-screen/) front this has pretty much come to an end as it has proved impossible to do what I wanted. I will be doing a detailed article on this in due course.

    Apple – This will be my second Macworld since I have been a Mac user so I am still unsure what to expect. An iPhone, new iPod, iTV seem certainties according to the rumours and forecasts, so I guess I wouldn’t be surprised if some or all of them don’t appear. iWorks isn’t something I use and it will be interesting to see what they decide we can’t do without this year in terms of iLife 07 and other products. I have said it before but I really do see 2007 more as a year of consolidation than of spectacular new launches.

    My Blog – No Mac blog would be complete without a Top 10, so no surprise that I have done mine (http://myapplestuff.com/my-top-10-of-2006/). I have not gone for the best applications or products that I have seen this year, but for the best that I consistently use. Another post was on Steve coming to Spain (http://myapplestuff.com/jobs-meeting-with-telefonica-head-for-cellphone-girl-talk/) which will probably have appealed to virtually no one but me.

    Review – Portraits & Prints (http://www.surfbits.com/?p=999) was a neat, fun application. Not my “cup of tea” but hard to fault. Maybe a little expensive, but if that sort of thing appeals to you then you will no doubt think it is good value.

    And finally – a reminder of the fun little competition we hope you will all participate in (http://www.surfbits.com/?p=998)
