Alex: Enjoy your spiffy new iMac, your collection of TEN iPods and iTunes gift card worth a total of 10 grand.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
