You’re more than welcome to send mem sticks to plebs like myself that don’t get them for free. I still have to go out and pay for the bloody things.
My pick of the week: VLC is only the second greatest video player; Best according to me is GOMplayer (http://www.gomlab.com/eng/); same great codecs, smaller size, prettier interface.



















Hi
I’ve been listening to the ZA Tech Show since the first episode. I am a bit concerned though, the show is decidedly starting to turn into a Mac fanboi show? It’s clear that most of the people on the panel favour Apple to PC and that’s great, but since the tech audience out there is still completely dominated by PC folks and software, you may want to cater for us first in your discussions. Unless you change the show’s name to the ZA Mac Show and be clear about it.
