LOVED the new format FMEO with Gary. The back and forth was just great – probably for you guys since you have “live” spur of the moment interaction, you never know how it will come out but I really liked it.
Also, when you talk back and forth , say about the UK guy wanting to know what hardware to get or the guy trying to figure how to erase time machine back ups – all us listeners get to say HMM that was my question too but I didn’t know it, and we learn from how you FMEO experts REALLY use the apple products and it gives ideas on ‘maybe I should try that to”. KUDOS to you and GOOD LUCK with your new business. I think you are doing a really good shake up thing and we will all benefit from your new format. Also, I like the Apple Store picture idea but as you might guess – I don’t know much about your where do we host it ? so hopefully another listener does.
Thank you for the continuing great podcasts.
PS – Gary – we can’t even get school districts in the US in the SAME STATE to have a consistent policy on the use of tech devices in the class room ! If it takes a little more than a year to get a countrywide standard in the UK, you have us beat in the US by a country mile!
