    Macstock Conference and Expo

    Guests:

    Michael Potter is the Executive Producer of For Mac Eyes Only, and the organizer of the annual Macstock Conference and Expo. Mike's love-affair for all things Apple began in his Junior High's Library playing Lemonade Stand on a pair of brand new Apple ][+ computers. His penchant for Apple gear continued to be nurtured by the public school system when, in High School, he was hired as a lab supervisor to help run the Apple ][e lab for his fellow students and their Print Shop needs. Then, further still, in college he often opted to help a friend with her Computer Graphics coursework instead of focusing on his own studies, but only because it helped get him closer to the Mac-lab.

  • This MacVoices Live! session starts out as we remember Charles Edge’s contributions to the Mac community. Two members of the MacVoices Live! panel have started a new Apple Vision Pro podcast; they talk about why, and what they have planned. Then, the full panel of Chuck Joiner, Dave Ginsburg, Marty Jencius, Jim Rea, Jeff Gamet, and Eric Bolden speculate on what we may see at Apple’s upcoming event, and then discuss the inconveniences of Apple ID resets and reconfigurations. Despite frustrations, we share insights on managing password-related disruptions within the Apple ecosystem.
