Hello, and welcome to episode 81 of the MacReviewCast. I’m Tim and I thank you for downloading and listening to the podcast. We look at all the great products that make using the Mac special.
This week we’re doing a few special segments though, for example, Jeff Powell has 4 or 5 of his favorite Mac tips to share with you. I found at least two that I was not aware of and I bet he’ll have a couple that you’ll consider as new. Then Chris Marshall will join us and he’ll share his progress with turning his Mac mini into a media center. Then this week we have Eddie Hargreaves joining us from the macCompanion to look at two of his reviews in the November issue. Finally Trent Armstrong joins us to review CSSEdit 2, and let me just give you a little hint, he loves it. Stay around for all those segments and my freeware of the week.

Autocompletion in OSX
Autocompletion is available in all OSX Cocoa-based applications
The Cocoa text system has a built-in auto-complete feature that is tied to the system-wide spelling checker dictionary. Start typing a word in an app that uses a Cocoa text editing field, hit the Esc key, and you’ll get a drop-down list of suggested completions.
