RMG201 - Getting Ready for MacWorld Expo

Happy holidays from Dave and RadioMacGuys to each and every one of you.

It's almost Expo time and the speculation is insane; especially regarding new "lifestyle" MacOS D devices. Among the possibles, the iTV device pre-announced by Steve Jobs at this year's World Wide Developers Conference, and the much anticipated Apple cell phone. What will Steve really pull out of his hat? I don't know and neither does anyone else except for a handful of folk hanging out around 1 Infinite Loop.
