For Mac Eyes Only - "Mac Curious - The Missing Links"

Episode 129 - Editorial Links

Whoops! In getting the show note links added to the post on Monday, I completely left off the links for folks looking for more information on switching to a Mac.

Here they are:

> Apple Store's Personal Shopping
> Apple's Store Locator
> Find a local Apple User Group
> Switch 101 - Migrating to a Mac
> Find Out How - Video Tutorials

For anyone contemplating making the switch to a Mac, the links above are all excellent resources to check out.
