PowerMac G5 Coolant Leaks/Repairs page updated
I've updated the page on PowerMac G5 Coolant Leaks/Repairs with another LCS G5 tower owner report (dual 2.7GHz) on a leak-related failure. He was told to bring the system to an Apple service center and repairs would be done at no cost. I've also updated a previous report from Boris that he's finally received a new Mac Pro replacement system. (The G5 Leaks page includes many reports on LCS (Liquid Cooled) G5 tower leaks/repairs, a reminder to check frequently for leaks, links to photos of the 2 brands of LCS (Delphi and Panasonic), DIY repairs some owners have done, links to photos of leak damage, etc.)

Air Sharing App (Free for a limited time)
I've not tried it personally yet but Eddie sent a note there's a cool Air Sharing App for the iPhone/Touch that's currently free but soon will be $6.99. Allows your iPhone/Touch to be used as a portable wireless hard drive and document viewer. From the apps store page info:

" With Air Sharing you can:
  • Mount your iPhone or iPod Touch as a wireless drive on any Mac, Windows or Linux computer.
  • Drag-drop files between your iPhone/Touch and your computer.
  • View documents in many common formats "
  • They also mention a free 1.0.1 update coming soon with a list of improvements/bug fixes. (See the apps store page link for a complete list of features, info and user reviews.)
