I just completed this guide to help you convert your Real Audio files to Mp3. Special thanks to nibaq for the heads up and to the ananymous who posted it on macosxhints.com
We just completed our first guide to new Mac switchers and owners. This guide is a simple walk through of what to do when you get a new Mac. We have also setup a forum post where you, our dear reader, can tell us what you think and all so we can help with the improvement of the guide.

Alright Folks, we have a poll going on of what is going to come when Leopard crawls on stage come WWDC in 3 weeks. It is setup in the poll so make sure you head there and let us know what you think.
Clarification: Leopard is not due to be released until October. The features will be revealed during WWDC on June 11th.
Here’s some of the meida’s predictions for what is going to be interduced at Apple’s WWDC this june 11th. Lst’s share some of them with you :
1 – Multi-Touch in Leopard – Leopard is going to be the main focus of WWDC this year,and we think one of the big surprises left in Leopard is the inclusion of the iPhone’s Multi-touch navigation. Now, We’re not saying that Apple is going to abandon the mouse at WWDC. Far from it, but we think Multi-touch will be included in the OS, and there will be some products there that support it.
2 – New GUI for OS X – We all know that the Aqua interface, while still quite nice, is getting a little long in the tooth. At WWDC expect the next generation GUI to be another secret of Leopard.
3 – New iLife w/iTunes HD – The new versions of iLife will be revealed with Leopard – possibly even as a part of Leopard itself, and will all feature HD support…including HD downloads from iTunes.
4 – Blu-Ray Support – Blu-Ray support and playback in Leopard, and Blu-Ray drive options on all higher end Macs.
5 – Leopard/iPhone integration – We don’t think we’ll be seeing too much about the iPhone at WWDC this year, but we will see how extensive the integration with Leopard is…and we expect it will be very much a part of Leopard. we don’t think it’s a co-incidence that WWDC is happening before the iPhone even comes out.
6 – New Mac Minis and Macbook Pros – With the recent update of the Macbooks, the Macbook Pros are in desperate need of CPU upgrade, and the Mac Minis are due as well. We expect to see new version of both products at WWDC if not before…
One More Thing…
7 – Ultra Portable iMac w/Multi touch screen - We don’t believe we’ll ever see an Apple tablet (made by Apple at least) but we think the time is right for a device like that to premiere. The UPiMac wouldn’t be much different than the current iMac…just thinner, lighter, and attached to a removable dock when on the desktop…but it would be portable for taking around the house to use where ever you wanted – freeing you from the confines of the desk, and giving you the freedom to use Multi-touch for a completely new UMPC experience.
