Beirut Apple reseller facing difficult times
The lone authorised Apple Centre in Beirut, Lebanon, has been forced to shut its doors since the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah ignited a week ago.

Understatement of the week, one would think. iPod to protect your hearing, sir? (Seen at Macworld UK)

Looking for Mac Eudora 7
Our apologies for the longer than expected delay in the release of Eudora 7 for Mac. We are reworking Eudora to make the most of Apple’s MacOSX Tiger environment, and are incorporating the new features of SpotLight and WebKit HTML display/authoring.

The plan for Universal Binary is also on the agenda for the Mac Eudora 7 release. However, Eudora’s current performance is as good on the Intel-based Macs as on Power PC based Macs.

It’s not clear from this whether Eudora 7 is being rewritten in Cocoa (as was rumoured) or not, but at least it’s an official statement. Even if it’s a dull official statement. (Then again, when did you last hear an exciting official statement?) Eudora 7 might be my next upgrade; I’ve not seen anything in Eudora 6 worth paying for, so I’m still back on 5.
