As a new listener I'm just catching up with British Mac. (I know, remiss of me to join so late - but I'm making up for it now.)
I just felt I needed to make some comments ... - Episode 10. Amazing how Will predicted the face recognition capability now included in iPhoto '09. It works almost exactly as he described! - Poignant that on a couple of occasions (one fairly recently) Will used Michael Jackson music. Just struck me given recent events. - Episode 11. I WANT A T-SHIRT! I think I'm a little late! Any thoughts about a rerun? - Episode 12ish. Liked the VoIP explanations. We really haven't moved much further on since 2006! (Especially as apple today rejected the Google Voice app! Eeek.) - Episode 15. Accessibility. I caught another recent podcast the other week covering this subject. Shows you how advanced British Mac is. With Leopard the new Alex voice is much more realistic. Spot on again Will. - Episode 15 too. YMUG is still going strong - nice website (currently still under construction apparently; ymug.org). Interesting magazine, and free membership during July, though I wouldn't know how to join at the moment.
I've noticed a gap between episodes in the archive (up to number 62) and those currently available from itunes (89 onwards). Are there plans to fill the gap? I have quite a way to go yet before I reach that point though .... (perhaps more observations as I progress ...)

So funny. Episode 67 - an email asking if Tony Hancock could be British Icon. Will just nonchalantly agrees. Cracked me up.
I'm still working through them. What an excellent weekend!

I have quite a way to go yet before I reach that point though .... Guilty as charged - it's among my list of things to get done regarding tweaks and updates to the website. A few months back now I started sorting out all the ID3 tags (so that they would all contain similar info) + converting everything to MP3 format in addition to AAC.... no one has been able to find a particular missing episode entitled "BRITISHMAC EASTER3" which I put things temporarily on hold for while the search went on ...... and forgot to upload anything. I'll try to ensure all the orginals are uploaded within the next few days (or if you'd prefer me to send you them all on CD / DVD drop me a personal message via the forum)

number 063 is now in archives. number 033 was actually a two-part episode (half on a Friday and half on a Sunday) - both added to archives. number 044 was actually released in four parts - BRTITISHMAC EASTER1, BRTITISHMAC EASTER2, and BRTITISHMAC EASTER4 have been added to archives.
BRTITISHMAC EASTER3 remains missing (Will doesn't have a copy of the original and no one else has found it lurking on their hard drives).... if you come across it can you let me &/or Will know.
