MGG 451: The One That Became Mostly About Mail

Dave and John finish up the Memorial Day weekend (here in the USA, anyway) in the best way they can imagine: partying with their fellow geeks and recording Mac Geek Gab. Indeed, this episode delivers, too, answering your questions and sharing your tips, of course, but also asks the question of your two favorite geeks: what online services do you use … and why? Hear John and Dave talk through their answers and much, much more.
