While in San Francisco, we may wish that we had a Garmin iQue 3600 GPS device, which Travis Butler reviews in this issue. Also this week, Geoff Duncan eulogizes the late Microsoft Internet Explorer for the Mac, and we note the releases of History Hound 1.9 and two new AirPort firmware updates, as well as a program to exchange CDs for an iPod.
