1. A Marriage of Artistry and Technology
Their studio may be housed in a converted water-powered mill over 120 years old. And they may be nestled in a sleepy Connecticut town of just 700. But Bill and Marleen Cafarelli's business--Video Art Works--resides on the cutting edge, and customers have been beating a path to their door.
What's bringing so many eager customers to Video Art Works?
The Cafarellis use Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express, and, the linchpin of their technical artistry, DVD Studio Pro to create award-winning wedding DVDs offering quality that "rivals anything Hollywood can do."
"Our clients' mouths are dropping when they see what we can do with DVD Studio Pro," exults Marleen Cafarelli.

Click on its Browse button, and iTunes organizes your music library by Artist and Album, making it easier to find just the right tunes. (Another click hides the Browser again.)
Say you're in the mood for some Coltrane. Scroll down the Artist column, click on John Coltrane, and iTunes will display just the Coltrane in your collection. Each album on which he appears will be listed in the Album column, and only the songs on those albums will appear in the song list window below.
But say you'd like to see everything by both Coltrane and Ray Brown? After clicking on John Coltrane, scroll down the Artist column, then hold down the Command key and click Ray Brown. iTunes will display all of the albums and songs by both Coltrane and Brown.
One more browsing tip: iTunes also lets you browse by genre. To add a Genre column to the browser, choose Preferences from the iTunes menu and click the box next to "Show genre when browsing."

3. Tips for Ten: Creating New Folders Easily
How many ways can you create a new folder in Mac OS X?
1. Choose New Folder from the File menu. 2. Type Command-Shift-N. 3. Choose Customize Toolbar from the View menu and add a New Folder icon to your toolbar that you can click anytime you want to add a new folder.
And here's one of Scott Kelby's favorite tips from his book, "Mac OS X Killer Tips": "Just Control-click on an empty space in any Finder window, and then choose New Folder from the pop-up menu."
What else can you do by control-clicking? Open a Finder window and give it a try.

4. Keeping Your Speaker Notes Handy
When giving a presentation, wouldn't it be great if your audience could watch your presentation play on the big screen without seeing the speaker notes (and all of the talking points) that you're seeing on your Mac's main display?
Here's how easy that is to accomplish in Keynote:
1. Choose Preferences from the Keynote menu. 2. Select the radio button to "Present on primary display." 3. Check the box next to "Use alternate display to view slide notes," and close the Preferences dialog.
When you click Play, Keynote will display your slides in Presentation mode on one display or large screen while, unseen by your audience, your slides and speaker notes appear on the second monitor.
Like more Keynote tips? If you're using Keynote, you already have an entire presentation of them. Choose Open Samples from the File menu, and double-click on "Presentation Tips.key."

6. .Mac Lets You Share with Friends Using Windows XP
If you have friends or colleagues using Windows XP (or if you use Windows occasionally yourself), a new utility available to .Mac members greatly simplifies file sharing.
Send your friends to the .Mac website, where they can download the new iDisk Utility for Windows XP. Once they've installed the free utility, they'll be able to access your iDisk Public Folder, retrieve files from it, and place files in it for you. A great way to distribute documents too large for email (like a PowerPoint presentation, FileMaker database, or Photoshop file), it's also a convenient way to exchange resumes.

6. Technically Speaking
Like to keep track of time?
Mac OS X gives you the option of displaying the time in the menu bar. (A click reveals the date.) It comes with a Clock application that lets you place an analog or digital timepiece in the Dock or on your desktop.
If you prefer to use military time or you'd like to display dates and times that adhere to standards appropriate to other regions around the world, Mac OS X also accommodates.
Read "Mac OS X: How to Display the Day and Time" for details.
Programmers, IT managers, content creators, open source coders, system administrators, QuickTime developers, and web managers who attend the Worldwide Developers Conference in May will learn where Apple's knack for developing innovative technology solutions will take tnem next.
