TidBITS#876/23-Apr-07
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/876>

  Security news has overtaken us once again, with a $10,000 challenge
  to break Mac OS X's security that looks like it will be collected,
  Apple's release of Security Update 2007-004, and a DealBITS drawing
  in which you could win a copy of the DoorStop X Security Suite by
  Open Door Networks. But those are all short bits, so for more
  thoughtful coverage this week, we talk with a group of TidBITS
  readers about how they provide Mac tech support for their families.
  Then, we turn to Michael E. Cohen for a detailed review of
  Mark/Space's new SyncTogether, which provides many of the same
  features as .Mac syncing, but for multiple users and without an
  annual subscription fee.
