MacUser Newsletter Thursday, 3rd April 2008
Dear gary,
Welcome to the latest edition of the MacUser weekly newsletter.
Apple and Adobe are going head to head right
now. While Apple updates Aperture to version
2.1, with support for the kind of plug-ins that
will make it a competitor to Photoshop, Adobe
has announced a public beta of Lightroom 2.
Cisco says that the number of Macs used in
businesses doubled last year, but it's not all
good news for Apple, as it could soon find
itself back in court, accused of misleading
customers over the number of colours the 20in
iMac can display.
All of these stories and more are covered in full through the links below.
Best regards
Nik
