We are coming to you from McHenry County, Illinois in a city named Wonder Lake sitting outside on the lake shore not too far from Macatock headquarters. We talk about the great weather and how we are able to bring you this episode in the backyard and how the tech is working for us.
The virtual Macstock conference is coming up on September 25, 2021 Mike and Dave talk about the history of Macstock, what we like most about the conference, and its future. This years conference is again virtual with a twist. There is a VIP ticket available where limited fan can join in on the conference in person and course following social distancing guidelines. Dave is also co-hosting the event with Mike and will be helping with the chat room and the virtual sessions.
The last time Mike was on the show (Episode 74) we talked about our default browser used on the iPhone and iPad. We revisit this and find which one we use. Browser support has come a long way since including making any browser your default. Screen shot tool in Firefox. Privacy in the browser.
