  • Inside the Core - The Night Before MacMas
    This is our holiday special episode. We gather around the Christmas tree with the kids and read our version of The Night Before Christmas.
    We want to thank all of you for taking the time to listen to the podcast and provide us feedback to help make the show better. We try our best to provide information that will help you in your Mac exams or at least point you in the direction where your questions can be answered.
    We would especially like to thank our own MacDudette, KK, for writing the MacMas version and for her on the fly editing while Chris and Dave were totally clueless on how to make two words rhyme.
    We hope that you have a Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah or whatever you are celebrating!
