John and Dave kick off this week with two topics no Mac user ever expects to talk about: viruses and defragmentation. Yes, folks, it’s true: sometimes you have to confront those things which you just don’t want to think about. Then it’s off to a more fun topic: integrating cars and technology. Once done there it’s time to dive into the mailbag and answer listener’s questions on the air! Don’t get caught, folks, just listen to your two favorite geeks. It’s all part of your balanced (tech) diet.

    Dave Hamilton

    Dave Hamilton co-founded both The Mac Observer and BackBeat Media, and he is producer and co-host of TMO’s Mac Geek Gab Podcast. He has worked in the computer industry since the early 1990s, doing time as a consultant, trainer, network engineer, webmaster, and programmer. He has worked on the Mac, all the various Windows flavors, BeOS, a few brands of Unix, and it is rumored he once saw an OS/2 machine in action. Before that he ran some of the earliest Bulletin Board Systems, but most of the charges have since been dropped, and not even the FBI requests that he check in more than twice a year. Dave's reachable for paid consulting at DaveTheNerd.com and you can find links to him on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ here, too.
