I’ve certainly heard of walking tours of museums and cities but haven’t really seen an insider tips version in the form of an audio file. It’s most certainly overdue and Your Friend in Philadelphia does a good job to provide some additional sources that guides and websites don’t really tell you.
I like it and at about the price of a guide book, is a worthy investment.

I recevied an email from MacMall offering Microsoft Office for Mac the 2008 edition for $99. Actaully a pretty good deal but why would you bother? I’ve been using NeoOffice for about 6 months now and must admit to really loving it. My experience with Pages was ho-hum mainly due to compatibility issused – by defalt they save as .pages and then you have to export a separate file for a .doc which is familiar to many. NeoOffice saves it as .doc (with a couple of questions asked) and takes into account the compatibility. This means only 1 file which, in these days of information overload, really makes more sense.
I had MS for mac prior to that and it was OK but for the $150 price tag does nothing but increase the overall cost of being part of the elite. Now after experiencing the joys of NeoOffice (and to a lesser extent OpenOffice) figure that even @ $99 seems incredibly bloated (like the actual software).

I use gmail so the spam filters do an excellent job blocking rubbish emails but for some reason they seem to have let a few slip by over the past few days. Today was the first time I’ve seen an Amazon one informing me that “The email address associated with you account has been changed” I don’t think so.
Another good one is from the “Canada Revenue Agency” offering to refund me $386.00. That’s great news aside from the fact that I am not Canadian, nor have I done any work with folks in Canada (although I would be more than happy to do so).
Maybe the spammer are feeling the economy as well?
