Guy Serle,\xa0best known for being one of the co-hosts of the\xa0MyMac Podcast, sincerely apologizes for anything he has done or caused to have happened while in possession of dangerous podcasting equipment.

Kelly Guimont\xa0is a longtime Apple geek, sitting down (on a telephone book) in front of an Apple IIe in 1983. She can still hear the ticking of the ImageWriter. Thanks to the miracle of the adjustable leg desk, she no longer needs the phonebook. Kelly writes for\xa0The Mac Observer, is the host of the\xa0Daily Observations Podcast, is co-host of\xa0The Aftershow,\xa0and yet still has more to say which she saves for\xa0Twitter\xa0and Micro.blog.
