It’s New Year’s Eve, which means we are working furiously to get ready for next week’s Macworld Expo in San Francisco. We’ll be at our booth, #407 in the South Hall of the Moscone Center, January 6 – 9, 2009. (I have to start getting used to typing 2009…) We’ll be showing off the latest version of PDFpen 4, as well as DiscLabel and TextExpander. Please do come by to see us and to check out the newest features of our software. (And we will have candy!) If you don’t have an Exhibit Hall pass yet, we still have some to giveaway. Just use this link to register for the show. January 4, Sunday, is the last day to take advantage of these free passes. The number is limited, so don’t delay. I am excited to announce that Don McAllister, the host and producer of ScreenCastsOnline, will be in the SmileOnMyMac booth on Thursday, January 8, from 2 pm to 3 pm, to talk about the Mac Switcher Bundle. The bundle is a great collection of software (TextExpander, 1Password and Witch) plus a special series of ScreenCastsOnline video tutorials aimed at helping new Mac users get the most out of their Macs. Don will be doing short demos of the Mac Switcher Bundle software, as well as showing off ScreenCastsOnline. He’s definitely achieved Mac celebrity status with his best-of-class video tutorials and his frequent appearances on Mac Break Weekly, MacVoices, Mac Roundtable, and many others. You can hear Don on a special episode of MacVoices with me, 1Password developer Roustem Karimov and Witch developer Peter Maurer. Don was also a faculty member on the Geek Cruise last month, and achieved celebrity status on the ship when the crew thought he was missing in Santorini. (It turns out their card readers were faulty–he was, in fact, aboard. He even has proof. You can hear the whole story on this episode of Mac Roundtable…)
