The MacVoices Gift Guide series for 2019 rolls on, this time with the panel of Kirk McElhearn, Brett Terpstra, Wally Cherwinski, and host Chuck Joiner. This series of picks strays from tech in spots, but always comes home to focus on things that plug and play.

This edition of MacVoices is sponsored by Smile, the makers of PDFpen and PDFpenPro, PDFpen for iPad, PDFpen for iPhone, PDFpen Scan+, as well as TextExpander for Mac and TextExpander for iPhone and iPad, as well as the new TextExpander for Windows. Great software to help you get more done.
