0:00.0 | Coming up on Hands on Tech, we are going to take a look at some advice on making the move from Windows to Mac. |
0:08.6 | Stay tuned. |

0:16.3 | Hello and welcome to Hands on Tech. |
0:20.7 | This is the show where I, Micah Sargent, take your tech |
0:23.6 | questions and answer them. Yes, it's a very simple process. You email me, H-O-T-Atwit.TV, |
