Time to go a little off topic. How much should an ice cream cone cost? My wife and I stopped at the Häagen-Dazs ice cream shop at the Fashion Island shopping center in Newport Beach.
The price for a cone: Kiddie size $3.45, Regular $4.45 and Large $5.45. When I was growing up an ice cream cone at Thrifty Drug Store cost one nickel. Now that’s inflation I know that was in the late 50’s. But really, $4.45 for a regular single scoop of ice cream.
The prices didn’t seem to deter anyone on this beautiful spring day. I’m sure those 50 or so in the Apple Store down the way checking out the new Air or Mac Pro wouldn’t mind high prices. I finally found something more unbelievably priced than inkjet ink. ______________________________________________________________________

You've probably made your way from Surfbits, "The Mac ReviewCast website" www.macreviewcast.com. I hope you enjoyed the audio review of Boinx slideshow software Fotomagico www.fotomagico.com. Give it a try. It's hard to believe making a screensaver or DVD slide show can be so easy. Upcoming posts will include more reviews, software and camera recommendations, tutorials, and links to nice photography related websites. You can check out some of my photos at www.robertlachman.com. If you have any questions or comments about software, cameras or photography please email me at PhotographyAndTheMac at gmail.com (remember to replace the "at" with @ if you copy and paste).
Thanks for checking out the site.
