Hands on with Icy Dock Turbo Swap and Tech Helping with COVID-19 – HGG437


Listen Later

The world is a crazy place right now. To give is some normality, we did a hands on look at the Icy Dock Turbo Swap MB171SP-B. We also discussed the major events that are happening around the work with the Covid-19 virus and what tech is doing to track it and maybe even help solve the problem. I think you will enjoy the show.

Mike is still loving the Nintendo switch. Used it when traveling for a lot of entertainment. Played Mario Kart on a roadtrip with other passengers.
