Also this week, Matt Neuburg reviews the NovaMind mind-mapping application, and Adam extracts useful lessons from a week of hardware troubles. In the news, Apple released Aperture 1.1 and Apple Remote Desktop 3, and since TidBITS marks its 16th anniversary this week, we're taking off for vacation. Look for our next issue 01-May-06!
