Mac Power Users, #2 Technology Podcast in iTunes


Tonight the Mac Power Users is ranked #2 on Apple’s list of top technology podcasts. The “Workflows” show format is a smashing success and we are already planning more. The groundswell of support from new and veteran listeners has been humbling. Thank you all. Also, a big thanks to Merlin Mann, whose energy and enthusiasm kicked the “Workflows” series off in a way that no one else could have.
