| 0:00.0 | MacCast, Sunday, October 22eks, it's time for your Metkeeks, I'm Adam, this is a show where we discuss all things |
| 0:25.7 | Macintosh. |
| 0:26.7 | How you doing? Welcome back to the Maccast. |
| 0:28.7 | Glad to be back here with you for another week of hints, tips, tricks, and all the goingsons in the Apple and Mac community. |
| 0:35.2 | How are you doing? |
| 0:36.8 | Hopefully you are having a great wonderful day. |
| 0:40.3 | We have quite a few things to get into in this episode. We're going to be talking about |

| 2:27.2 | to reveal a USBC port and that's pretty cool in and of itself. What's nice about this USBC port is it's kind of oriented to the side |
