Observer Comments
Jeff and Bryan,
Just curious, have you guys considered discussing certain hot topics on the various TMO boards (like the One Infinite Loop, Apple Finance Board, iPod/iPhone boards) to your podcast on occasion? I admit it's a little "self-serving" to suggest this since I'm a forum member, but hey, it could serve as a weekly plug to join the TMO boards, so everybody wins!
Oh yeah, the podcast's great, etc. ![]()

"The Apple Weekly Report is Mac news with no fanaticism"
I really like that tag line and I really look forward to my weekly podcast with Jeff and Bryan (but I do miss Ricky).
I've been subscribed for awhile and regularly visit the TMO site, but I never registered before now. And the reason that I registered was to complain.
Sorry, but I feel like I really need to.
This last episode had Bryan really foaming at the mouth over Windows shortcomings. At one point, I thought the spittle was going to come out through my car's speakers.
Look, we all know that Windows is a complete POS, but remember that Tag line:
"The Apple Weekly Report is Mac news with no fanaticism"
That's really important.
That said, I do want to give you guys pats on the back for the fine job you do of giving context to the news and rumors. I get little of that from other news sources (both geek and MSM), so I appreciate it a lot.
Keep up the good work, guys.
Peace,
-Ron
