Summary

Starting a new phase for the Mac Geek Gab, this marks the inaugural episode of the Mac Geek Gab Premium. We've had listeners asking for more content, and we've also had listeners offering to support the show directly. We certainly appreciate our sponsors, and the sponsored-shows will continue. This is an extra two episodes per month, supported directly by our listeners at the rate of $25 for a 6-month membership. This allows you to get more MGG, support your favorite hosts, and to be a part of this very special, 4-and-a-half year old project of ours! Episode 231 brings you everything you would expect from your favorite Mac geeks, including Finder tips, backup help, verbose startup discussions (and a solution!), and more. Come join us, and help make the next 4-and-a-half years even better than the first! Our sincere appreciation, John and Dave
