This podcast is recorded on a Mac using Audio Hijack Pro. As for equipment, John is using a Behringer C-1 microphone going through a Behringer Eurorack UB1222FX-PRO mixer, monitored with Etymotic ER-6i Isolator earphones, then straight in to his Mac. On Dave's end, a Heil PR-40 microphone is used, and the whole show is mixed "live" through a Mackie Onyx 1220 FireWire-enabled mixer before being pumped back into the Mac (via FireWire, of course), and is monitored with Ultimate Ears UE-7 Ambient earphones. Each microphone is run through a channel on a Behringer Autocom Pro-XL MDX1600 compressor, a touch of reverb is added with an ART FX-1 processor, and the whole thing is then compressed in software on the Mac. The show is recorded to AIFF, and then converted and uploaded with an Automator script. Michael, aka Computernap, then goes through and enhances the show to provide you with the AAC version. You can hear more details of the setup and how it's mixed on Episode #32.

Theme Music: "The Answer", written by Jeff Steblea and Brian Ayles, as performed by Go Figure. "Made On A Mac" bumper by Mark Fleser

Hey guys,

I Googled around for a minute and found the official online iPhone terms and conditions: Looks like by limited Wi-Fi connections, AT&T means its own Wi-Fi Connect service, though they could've been a little more clear on it.

Here's the link: http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/articles-resources/iphone-terms.jsp
(look for the "WI-FI CONNECT" section).

Thanks, Mav. You're absolutely right, and I appreciate the clarification!

Tue Jul 17, 2007 11:02 am Subject: Cloning your old mac

Hey guys, just found your podcast, sounds great! I am a recent mac switcher, about 2 months, but in that time have moved my family over to 4 older macs. iMac G3 Flower Power for my 3 year old daughter, a 1.2 GHz iBook for the wife, a PowerMac QuickSilver Dual 1GHz and a PowerBook G4 1.25 GHz. Now that I got all that out of the way.

Just after buying my daughter the older iMac G3 off eBay, the hard drive went out on it. Her iMac doesn't have a DVD drive and I didn't have a firewire cable on me. So to install OS X Tiger, I removed a hard drive from an old PC and put the old PC hard drive in my Power Mac G4, did a fresh install of OS X Tiger, pulled the now ready hard drive out of the Power Mac G4 and put it in the iMac G3, and to my amazement, it booted right up without a single hickup! Amazing!

Thanks,
Nathaniel
