What happened to my Gab? Why is it a day late? It was difficult yesterday getting through the day without some Mac Geekery.
LOL! John was a bit under the weather on Monday night, so we delayed... we actually discussed not doing a show this week due to scheduling issues, but thankfully I got back early enough last night to make it happen.
Look for the next show early, though! We'll be recording one this weekend.
Thanks Dave. I heard about John's sickness about half an hour after posting that when I listened to the show.
Just a quick show suggestion. Mac OS X and Windows - Networking, issues, hints and tips.
Forget all that Boot Camp nonsense, how do I get my Mac and my (sigh) Dell to communicate and share printers, files, etc.
Look forward to the show this weekend, and congrats on the half century!
