Description

Welcome back to Memory Protection! September '99 was a slow month for Apple news, so Josh & Matt decided to tackle a subject that they have been thinking about since May. They talk Macintosh, the iMac & the iPad. 3 variations on a theme, 3 attempts to redefine what computers are and who they are made for.

This is a fun episode, specs have been known.
