John and Dave nearly break their record today and answer a ton of your questions in this fantastic episode of Mac Geek Gab.

Additionally, a segment on comparing the benefits of RAM vs. SSD got very interesting, with a great listener comment thrown in, as well. Download today, folks — you don’t want to miss this one!
