Mac expert Ted Landau delivers a triple-threat show on three topics you’ll want to know about. Ted adds to his previous extensive examination of Apple’s new Airport Extreme Base Station and answers some listener questions about mixing the various flavors of 802.11 on the same network. Ted also talks about how to create a bootable, iPod or even flash drive to help you out in emergency situations.

Finally, if you’re worried about the upcoming change in Daylight Saving (not Savings) time, Ted tells you what you need to do to protect yourself and where to find the software to do it.

The MacNotables wanted to do something special to celebrate their 100th episode, and they succeeded, times three. Each member of the panel opted to deliver a Top 3 (or more) list of a topic of their choosing, and in typical MacNotables style, came up with some unusual, informative and entertaining topics. There was so much good information that just one show wouldn’t hold it all, hence our three-show Centennial extravaganza.
