Hi

Am I the only one having probelms downloading the podcast? I use Google Reader and the download just times out. The download from the web site works though. Only happened since this episode.

Hi Tech Daddy

We haven’t heard of anyone else having this problem, but please let us know if it persists so we can help you iron it out.

It may have something to do with the fact that we moved to permalinks around the time of this episode, however most agrigators have carried on regardless.

Hey guys

Just a (late) comment on the Apple keyboard saga. I managed to pull a key or two off my old Powerbook a year ago and I took my Powerbook to Cool Apple Buddy whose service guys sold me new keys and fitted them in about 20 minutes or so. CAB are not exactly my favourite service centre people but they did a good job there.

C3 are also awesome and I certainly recommend them. Maybe the solution is to use IMC only as much as is necessary and other service centres for the rest (provided you are comfortable they are competent and know what they’re doing).
