V Rumors of new MacBook and MacBook Pro Designs
www.appleinsider.com—apple_notebook_lines_to_see_major_design_changes_sources_say.html
* AppleInsider says the Apple Notebooks are going to go through major design changes in the next update and will all have aluminum enclosures with sleeker profiles.
* The MacBook Pro's form factor hasn't really changed since 2001 when the original PowerBook G4 was introduced.
* Are substantive new changes needed to the form factor - do people really care?
* Will this cause the lines to be blurred between the consumer and Pro models?

* This was a feature we were promised when Leopard previewed but was missing from the final build. Then TimeCapsule came on the scene, then just a few weeks ago a series of updates enabled the long awaited AirDisk features, but APple now say it's "Unsupported."
* AppleInsider warns that the feature could be "broken" by future software updates
* What should people do?

V Bruce wants TiVo Advce
* I'm an avid listener to your podcast and have a quick question for you. I recently purchased a Tivo Series 2 dual tuner box for my home and I am loving it! I've heard you talk about Tivo in the past and you mentioned that the TivoToGo was not working. Where you ever able to get this feature working? Can you transfer shows to your iPhone and burn shows to DVDs? If so, which Roxio software package are you using? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and keep up the great work!

V Tony's has a Problem
* On Sunday's Typical Mac User Podcast, you made a comment that periodically you wipe clean your hard drive and do a fresh install.

I am having a problem on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5.2) that seems to be isolated to my user account - slow boot and lot's of spinning beach balls. I have tried most of the common cures, (repair disk, repair permissions, Disk Warrior, Cocktail etc). I have even brought it in to a Mac Genius but no resolution.

Since this problem does not occur on the other accounts on this machine, I thought I would make a fresh start. Here is my question; I regularly make a bootable backup with SuperDuper! and I assume that once I wiped the disk and reinstalled Leopard, I could migrate my user account and settings back over but I a concerned that whatever is causing my problem know will migrate back as well. Is this a valid concern?

I have several Macs and this is the only machine I am having the problem with.

Any suggestions?
V Kenneth wants to use SuperDuper to backup to TimeCapsule or Air Disk
* 1. Open Disk Utility (found in /Applications/Utilities).
2. Without selecting any volume/drive on the left side, click the New
Image toolbar button.
3. Give the image an appropriate name (like Backup), and store it on a
drive other than the one you're trying to back up.
4. In the Size pop-up, choose Custom.
5. In the sheet that appears, enter the size of the drive you're
trying to back up. Note that the pop-up does not have a selection for
GB: you need to enter "40000" MB for 40GB. Click OK when you've got
the right size entered.
6. Choose the proper value in the Encryption pop-up.
7. In the Format pop-up, choose sparse disk image.
8. Click Create.

Once it's created, go back to SuperDuper! and choose the "Disk
Image..." selection in the destination pop-up. Navigate to the
location where you created the image and click it (it's grey, but
that's OK -- click it anyway), then click "Save". (Note that due to
the error you're getting, you might need to point at the *mounted*
image.)
