Gaz doesn’t buy an iPhone 3GS for himself and Guy doesn’t buy a Classic Car…because we’re all about the giving. Some great feedback from you our listeners and Gaz has some fun floaty-like tips that he shares. Guy’s attempts fail miserably at first, but he get’s the hang of it eventually. Sound like a normal MyMac Podcast? It truly wasn’t, but it was weirdly wonderful.

By Kinda, we mean he bought a cheap Android tablet and seems to hate it. Let’s hear it for positive reinforcement and how a good experience leads you to buy tech items again! YAY! Gaz makes it back from Turkey alive, but the worst part seems to be getting home. Also his daughters are hell on their iPhones. The little cloner that couldn’t Psystar is finally dead and the GMen continue their discussion over how to make an iPad you main portable device. This week it’s external storage options.

Guy and Gaz back recording together but a few days early because Gaz has to go off to Turkey (OH the HORROR!). All kinds of drama happening (none of which did we actually put on the show because…well…it’s drama). Gaz finally moves to iCloud, you great listeners come through again with feedback, why is Popeye afraid of Bluto (not to worry, it all makes sense), and how many iPads can you steal at one time? A woman in Texas just needs to know. Also, replacing your laptop with an iPad can (but should it?) be done and in this first part of an ongoing series we tell you how. First up, keyboards.

While this is not podcast number 404 (the infamous webpage error), Guy was not able to join the podcast, but Gaz was ably joined by Scott Wilsey. We give the normal feedback and Scott has to deal with Gaz’s bad typing. They talk about how Gaz had his old negatives digitised and Scott mentions his problems with getting his podcast back into the iTunes store.

After all the build up and all the hype, the 400th Podcast is FINALLY here! However this is not the ONLY thing we have to celebrate as Gaz’s Daughter playing with the renowned Youth Brass 2000 group won the National Youth Championships 2012 over 17 other also very good brass bands!

Wowsey wow wow! What a busy and long show this week. Guy performs minor surgery on hard drive enclosures and is SHOCKED he can’t buy stuff on Easter Sunday.

Elisa has a lot to say about Google Play and Tom has an app that falls somewhere between Halo and Microsoft Word. Qualified beta testers should contact him at betatest18@gmail.com.

Apple has a new iOS announcement, but that doesn’t come until tomorrow for Guy and Gaz so they have NO idea what it’s going to be. However they’re PRETTY sure it’s a new iPad with gee whiz new stuff in it. Real stretch of the imagination there, however Guy ALSO thinks there will be a special Jimmy Buffet branded one with a built-in Margarita mixing guide! Or maybe that will be saved for the iPad 4. Lastly, the GMen interview all the way from the Ukraine, Denys Zhadannov from Readdle.com about their fantastic iOS apps

No big agenda this week, just lot’s of little things that add up to one crazy show. Guy finally breaks down and gets a Magic TrackPad but is somewhat unsure of just how it works without all those pesky wires all roll-y pointy things. The GMen are thankful they don’t play with lightsabers and go into a few different Video Sharing sites. Erick Diaz sides with Gaz and the Macs aren’t going anywhere debate, JollyJap wants to find some battery conditioning software in an audio question, and instead of an app pick, Gaz has some useful tips and tricks.

Guy apologize’s for last week’s sponsor screwup that he would LOVE to blame on Gaz or possibly overindulgences from the 70′s but can’t. This week’s phobia word of the day is especially good for those who fear their mom or dad or possibly a racecar or radar. Terra Knoble from Splasm Software (one of our 400th podcast sponsors) joins the GMen for a fun chat, and why is Guy planting the seeds of doom for the Mac because of Mountain Lion? Gaz tries to set him straight, but when did THAT ever work?

You’ll have to listen to find out what Chiroptophobia is, but the why they called the show that is still a mystery. Maybe they have a fear of naming things (no that would be Nomatophobia).The big 400th Podcast is coming up and Gaz and Guy can’t WAIT to give you people stuff for being so wonderful about listening to the show! However they seem to be able to make you wait until the 400th podcast actually happens. So far they have three companies willing to pony up some great prizes including BusyCal from BusyMac Software, the Co-Pilot iOS app from ALK Technologies , and MacKeeper 2012 from ZeoBIT Software. Then they go over a big list (but not a conclusive list) of the software they like on their Macs and why.
