It's the week of the iPad Pro so of course One More Thing has to look at 1997. There's plenty to say about 2015's iPad Pro but a new story has emerged about what it was like at Apple when Steve Jobs returned. Plus there's the news that an excited Malcolm Owen has been waiting for and William Gallagher hasn't: the release of an Android app for Apple Music. That difference aside, this might be the Most Agreeable Episode Ever. Last time Malcolm and William couldn't even agree on how to pronounce potato but before they could call the whole thing off, they're back this week with Thingies of the Week that, well, work together. Thematically.

Join Charles and Malcolm this week as they explore the new Disk Utility in OS X 10.11 El Capitan (and find a shocking omission), comment on the forthcoming new Star Trek series, sing the praises of apps Malcolm relies on to get the job done, lament the lack of an Android version of Apple Music (still!), and discuss the question of when to repair -- or replace -- an older Mac. All this plus App of the Week on milestone episode 40.

Of course there's a Santa Claus: how else are we going to get our iPad Pro and Apple Pencil for Christmas? Do find out in this One More Thing why there's even a question about this clear and obvious truth but then also tune in for contention. William Gallagher and Malcolm Owen can barely agree on the time in this one, though they have since had a mug of tea and a hot Ribera, talked it through, and agreed to disagree about Microsoft, Apple, Android, Larry Page, PayPal and product placement in James Bond. They're still working on their difference over claims that Samsung will pull out of phones entirely within five years.
