Happy Birthday to us all! It’s true… 17 years ago today (to the day!) John and Dave released the first Mac Geek Gab episode (called “TMO To Go”) and Pilot Pete joined not to long afterwards. It’s been 17 years of answering your questions, sharing Cool Stuff Found, learning Quick Tips, discussing Macs and iPhones and Routers and Mesh Wi-Fi and Synology DiskStations and… yeah… all of it. Wanna know a secret? They’re not going to stop any time soon! Wanna know another secret? Press play and join your three favorite geeks in learning that secret plus five new things!
