Ho, ho, ho. Welcome to our show just before Christmas.

This is the winter solstice weekend edition of Tech Talk for 2024.

It's the shortest day of the year.

Yay.

Well, not yay because it's the shortest day of the year. Yay. Well, not yay because it's the shortest day

of the year, but yay because they finally start getting longer from here on out. Yes. We are live with you

on Saturday, December 21st, and Sunday afternoon, the 22nd is a rebroadcast, and we'll have a

podcast for you to fit into your busy life, judging by what I've seen in the parking lots at the malls and things,

it's going to be a pretty busy weekend.

This is a very special show for us with a cast of thousands.
