We promised Wi-Fi and we delivered Wi-Fi. That's how it works here at Mac Geek Gab: your two favorite geeks answer your questions and help solve your problems. But it's not only Wi-Fi, of course. Lots of you asked other questions, and we've got that covered, too, including helping to tame that ducking autocorrect feature. Press play and listen as John and Dave help you learn at least five new things!
