The Mac Geekerb, number 394, for Monday, April 30, 2012. I'm going to Good our readings folks, folks, and welcome back to the Mac Observers Mac Geekat, the show where

you send in your questions, you send in your questions you send in your tips we provide some answers

we go through it all together and all as one we learn something new at least one thing

perhaps five about the Mac and Apple Apple products and maybe just life in general.

Here in Durham, New Hampshire, I'm Dave Hamilton.

Here in Fearful, Connecticut, John F Braun.

How you doing, John? Great, that's good. So today's show is going to be a little bit like Stump the Geek and at first I was like scratching my head like, uh, whatever, but uh, but now actually I'm I'm excited about it so as you

may have heard maybe I said this in in 393 premium so so perhaps most of you that are that

don't listen to the premium show haven't heard this but being that I was away last week and and you know today was my first day back at the desk

I knew that prepping the show was going to be competing for time for me with

digging out from everything else that I needed to from being away for a week.

So I asked John to prep the show and and of course we didn't really go through what that meant and so

John's idea of prepping the show was radically different from from mine and it was a perfect example of

humans and and radical man.

Well it's just I mean it's just the way we all we all think differently.

So I John sent me the show and I realized that he had prepped it and you did you built the agenda and it was awesome

but you didn't for you maybe only half the questions you did research on the answers so

many of these are were on research now we talked through a lot of them during pre-show, but it kind of is the way

we used to do things. We've gotten into more and more of a prep mode over the last seven years, but when we first started and first started doing the Q&A shows which started with episode three I believe

Which is kind of crazy to say the really yeah three yeah yeah, yeah, because so yeah yeah I won't tell the story because I don't want to ruin the illusion.

I'll tell the story, what the heck? So the first we did when we did the first show our intention was not to do this as a Q&A show.

Obviously that's what it's become and that's what it is.
