Dave Merten from MacOSG informs me that he has created a new web app for iPhone that provides instant access to support guides right from your iPhone. It’s called Mac611 (shouldn’t that be 911?). Check it out for yourself, or better still… break your Mac and try to fix it using this service. I’m going to the tool shed now to get my sledgehammer.

    The idea behind using ’611′ rather than ’911,’ is ’611′ is the number in the US that you call from your telephone/cellphone when you have a problem, and need ‘help’ or ‘repair.’ It normally connects you to your phone carrier’s ‘custoner service’ or ‘repair’ department. Plus, the Mac911 domain was already registered.
