Prepare to be dazzled, then bored out of your skull when you realize that my podcast about the show is over 3 hours long. I’ve split it into 4 segments of roughly 45 minutes each, but even so I think you’ve got to really want it to sit through this much stuff. Bear in mind also that this is my first ever podcast and I have no idea if this is going to work or work well. Some feedback in that respect would be appreciated.

Finally, my thanks to my sister-in-law Christine Peterson for spending the week up here hanging with Jonah and Elisha. I could not have done MacWorld this year without her help. Thanks also to the Lillys who put me up at their house.

I hope you enjoy and find useful my coverage. If you couldn’t attend this has got to be close to the next best thing. (NOTE: These Podcasts are roughly 21 MBs each; broadband required.)
