1. If you’re looking for a serious show that deals with all of the technology news with the in-depth analysis of serious professions, then this is NOT the show for you. If you want a show that deals with all of the technology news with good banter and in some cases the Mickey taking that some of it deserves then this is it. However, you still get the ‘professionals’ talking about it. (I use the term professionals because they must be getting paid for something) BatWench
2. BIG and British A colonial enjoying a British view of the Mac World. The US Centric and often insular approach to much of the Mac Tech is relieved a good sense of humour and a little irreverence. Quality information with a broad approach. Good Stuff Paul JP
