August 24, 2020 MacVoices #20199: Kirk McElhearn on Apple Music, Backing Up To A NAS, And More (2)
Our conversation with Kirk McElhearn continues with why backing up to a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device is a bit different than some other options, which drives to buy for your NAS, and cat photos. We also return to the Apple Music question with an examination of what’s next for all the music services, and how the answer to The Marshmallow Test may determine the role podcasts will play.

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.
