Podcast Link: TMO To Go: Mac Geek Gab, August 8th, 2005

John gets back from vacation and tells us all about his experiences figuring out the wireless base station and SMTP server at the vacation house -- this chat includes lots of great tidbits for anyone ever traveling with a computer, including a few ways of finding your local mail server. Additionally, Dave and John respond to reader comments from last week's show, and Dave has a few pleas for YOU geeks relating to both an overactive ATSServer process and e-mail on cell phone/PDAs!
