MacNotables #713: Ted Landau on Creating a Bootable Flash Drive, More Airport and Daylight Saving Time

Ted Landau

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. Yes, you could opt for the commercial products (which may or may not have been based on Ted’s original article), or you could listen to the master and do it for free. 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.
