ward all port 80 traffic to the static IP address of your iMac.

You may need to set it as a DMZ to allow all traffic to be for-

warded. Alternatatively, without a static IP address for your

home, you should have a dynDNS account setup to give your

cable modem’s ever changing IP address a pointer to a static

domain name. See http://www.dyndns.com/about/home_solu-

tions.html. My D-Link router has a Dynamic DNS Tool to keep

their database up to the minute. Then just put your web files

into the Sites folder in your home folder. If you want to host

multiple domains, you just need to edit the two hidden files /

private/etc/hosts to define the domains and /private/etc/

httpd to point apache to the home folders for each domain’s

files. See http://www.macminicolo.net/videos/ServerVideo6.mov

This iMac replaces a similar one that was stolen, but not

before it was backed up with Time Machine to an external

hard drive. Can I keep the old backup but still allow Time

Machine to backup to the same external drive?

■ Yes, because Time Machine backs up each computer to a

separate folder so there should be no conflict. The only issue

would be available disk space. So when you plug in the drive

and the new Mac asks to use it for Time Machine, just click

OK. By the way, network Time Machine backups are not in the

normal folder structure as used by direct backups. They use a

sparse disk image to hold the backup.

I got an offering for the CheckIt System Performance Suite

from Smith Micro/Allume. Should I buy it?

■ I’d say NO. The TechTool Platimum is the older version

of TechTool Pro 4.6.2 but not updated and not supported by

Micromat. I did read a while back, that the older bundle had

version 4.5.1 which, if you paid $25 to Micromat, you would

get their Pro version which could then be upgraded to the cur-

rent 5.0.4. The Suite also has Spring Cleaning 10, a dangerous

$50 valued product I would never use. I deletes things you

need but it doesn’t think so. You’d spend far too much time

reinstalling stuff to fix what it damages. Then it also moves on

to the lightweight Retrospect Express which was the bundled

variety nobody liked and discontinued (on the Mac) never sup-

porting Leopard and besides, programs like SuperDuper! or the

free Carbon Copy Cloner outclasses. There is also the Stuffit

Standard 2009 which also sells to suckers for $50. Nobody

Apple Adds Petite

Aluminum Keyboard

by Tonya Engst

Apple last week released a new Apple Keyboard, which

offers Apple’s sleek aluminum look and two extra USB

2.0 ports, but no numeric keypad. The keyboard costs

$49 and requires that you be running at least Mac OS

X 10.5.6 Leopard.

In the recent past, if you wanted a small aluminum

keyboard from Apple, you had to purchase the $79

Bluetooth-based wireless keyboard. It eschews a

numeric keypad and suffers from the hassle of dealing

with batteries and Bluetooth, though it does elimi-

nate a cable from your life.

The new Apple Keyboard is noteworthy for people

buying a new iMac because it’s the default option

when you shop from Apple. For the moment, though,

you can substitute the Apple Keyboard with Numeric

Keypad at no extra charge (the default situation is

reversed for Mac Pro purchasers). For those buying a

Mac mini, both keyboards cost the same. The Apple

Wireless Keyboard costs an extra $30.

The Mac Turns 25:

Best Mac Ever?

by Adam C. Engst

When my friends at Macworld called and asked me to

contribute to their 25th anniversary issue, I jumped

at the chance. Steve Jobs is so uninterested in the

past that he had Apple’s famous icon garden not only

ripped out, but junked. I, on the other hand, find

it instructive to pay attention to the past because

it both informs where we are today and, hopefully,

enables us to avoid repeating our mistakes.
