Mac Power Users

podcast. I'm Katie Floyd alongside with David Sparks. Man every every time I hear that music, I just want to start, you know, banging drums at my desk or something.

Yeah, Johnny did a great job.

And thanks for all the positive feedback on it, everybody.

We like hearing that.

Yeah, I appreciate. I'm sure Johnny does as well. But this week is a topic that we

mentioned in passing a couple of episodes ago and I think this is a problem that you have that I have and that

apparently a lot of our listeners have as well because they've written in in droves and

said yes you must do a Mac Power user show on the topics of meetings. So we're going to talk about why meetings

suck how to make them suck less and what types of technology you can use in

your meetings to to make them go smoother. Yeah and you can tell that Katie got to choose the name of this

week's show because I think mine would have been a little more aggressive.

Well you know I'm always nervous about that clean tag. Yeah well the meetings are a

strange thing and I guess as a preview I think you can use

technology to make them a little better but that's not the real key.

Yeah and I've got some real questions about this technology area when we get to that because I think as I've mentioned on the show before, my office is a little bit technology phobic and sometimes bringing technology into a meeting can really be a barrier and sometimes be a distraction.

So I'm interested to hear some solutions about how you get over that and how you move the conversation back to the topic of the

meeting and not, oh what's that cool gizmo you've got?

Well I think if you do the stuff we're about to talk about, that will take you a long

way there.

So before we get started, though, let's pretend we are back to work for a little bit.

Oh, no. Am I going to have to come up with with audio?
