Description

This time of year more than others, it seems, people need to remote control their friend's and family's computers for assistance. It's what we do here at Mac Geek Gab – helping people, that is – and we're happy to help you help others, too! But that's not all we talk about in this episode of MGG 687. In fact, it's probably only a smidge of it. Managing multiple Photos libraries, migrating from FireWire to the future, and Cool Stuff Found. Listen, learn, and enjoy!Note: Shownotes are complete!
