Apple had some pretty big news this week. They announced a public beta of a software package that allows you to install Windows XP on an Intel Mac. The package is called Boot Camp, which in Florida is an unfortunate choice of names. Boot Camp does not include XP. You have to get that yourself. It does include all the drivers that allow you to do the wiz bang Apple hardware stuff.
Apple stock moved up 10% on Wednesday after the announcement.

It's almost our anniversary here at Radio MacGuys. In a very short time, we'll be posting our 100th show. We're looking for the perfect tune for the show and hope that you have a suggestion. It has to be available on the internet and available for podcasting. If you've got a suggestion for the perfect tune for our 100th show, please send it on. Our email is macguys at mac dot com. (you know what to do) We're making this a contest. If we use your tune, we'll send you a little gift.
The music for this episode comes from Stellamara featuring Sonja Drakulich and Garl Hegedus. Their music is on the Magnatune, "we're not evil", label; a source of some very interesting music. We recommend you give them a visit.
