Mac Hints & Tips seeking donations to continue
Mac Hints & Tips is a killer site that catalogs (of all things) over 6,000 hints, tips, workarounds and other handy pieces of Mac OS X trickery. Compiled from Mac user groups, Apple websites and various other published and unpublished sources around the globe, this highly bookmarkable (and subscribeable) resource is run by one mere mortal by the name of Paul Taylor, who is seeking donations and subscriptions to keep the site and monthly PDF truckin'. Paul currently allows users to sign up for a yearly membership to gain access to the entire database of tips, searchable by keyword or application name, and he also accepts good ol' fashioned donations (though we've all seen how well those go), but he's trying to get the word out to see if the community can toss a few more dollars into the bucket o' hosting bills. To see whether Mac Hints & Tips could be worth your time and a donation or a membership, Paul keeps archives of the past three months available on the main page (in both HTML and PDF), in addition to the current issue.Check out Mac Hints & Tips, as I know I've found it to be an invaluable resource over the year or so I've been a reader, and it would be great to see such a killer resource get credit where it is most certainly due.

Downloaded the Newsletter... and was not impressed. They are asking for a 5 dollar donation for each issue...(granted you can download it right now without a donation or even an email form) for info they have only acquired by looking through forums and gleamed off of others insights... so how does that make it worth more than the cost of say a MacAddict or MacWorld... often with twice or more the tips, color pages, and professionally written articles? Reading the first issue I couldn't help but be dissapointed with the simplicity of the tips... nothing very original.. and most of which seemed to be poorly written. I am sorry.. but http://www.macosxhints.com has way more bang for the buck, and it comes out daily... and is free... and is timely... they need to make this more of a commodity if they are going to charge such outrageous costs for one issue.
