Show notes for TMO To Go: Mac Geek Gab For October 11th, 2005
Direct Links: MP3 Version. No Enhanced show (yet!) this week. We'll be building a separate feed for the enhanced show. More news to come.
John and Dave focus their advice (and that from the listeners!) towards those of you who have switched from Windows or are thinking of doing so -- but don't shy away if you're a long time Mac user, because there's info there for you, too! Plus, Dave even gets in a good rant about overzealous Mac-oriented virus protection companies.
Show Sponsor: RHEM 2 - Search for a secret artifact in the elaborate and mysterious hidden city of underground caves of "RHEM 2", an intricate pure-puzzle first person adventure game.
