Hello and welcome to Mac Power Users.

My name is Stephen Hackett, and I'm joined by my friend and yours, Mr. David Sparks.

Hello, Stephen. How are you today?

I'm good, David. It's, you know, we're winding down summer here in the Northern Hemisphere.

And my kids go back to school, like next week.

Oh, wow. Yeah, we go back to school, like next week. Oh, wow.

Yeah, we go back early in Tennessee.

But, yeah.

So there's been, you know, school supply runs and meet the teacher night.

It's busy.

How are the kids, like, feeling about that?

Like, I remember when I was a kid, I was never that happy about going to school.

I kind of liked seeing my friends again, but, you know, it was kind of nice, you know, being home, too. How's that go over in the, in the Hackett household? They're mostly okay. All three of them generally like school. And so, I mean, there's some like moaning, right? But I don't think it's, I think it's kind of skin-deep moaning.

Yeah, okay.

They're okay.

All right, good. I mean, there's some, like, moaning, right? But I don't think it's, I think it's kind of skin-deep moaning.

Okay.

They're okay.

All right. Good. Good. And then the parents are, like, super happy. Like, yeah, go to the school kids. Well, my wife's a teacher, so she goes back to work next week as well. actually she goes back to, has already gone back to work about time this comes

out for, like, the end service, right, where teachers go and set up the classroom and have

meetings and stuff. So her summer is over. But I'll, you know, I'll have the house to myself again.

So nice, nice. All right. Well, we want to welcome to the show Simon Storring, who is a developer of many applications that many of us probably love and also a Mac power user.
