| 0:00.0 | Mac Power Users episode. I'm Katie Floyd alongside David Sparks. How are you David? |
| 0:26.0 | I'm doing well Katie and yourself. |
| 0:29.0 | I'm doing very well. I'm interested to be diving deep into something we don't normally do in talking about an iPad app. |
| 0:38.0 | Yeah, well this one seems to be on everybody's radar lately. |
| 0:41.0 | Yeah, we're going to be talking this episode about Good Reader, which is an app that has just |
