The Boys of Summer are Back in Town – Mac Geek Gab 661

Mac Geek Gab — Your Questions Answered, Tips Shared, Troubleshooting Assistance

Quick Tips to start (no hints!), and then it’s time for some new Mac advice, which is a fitting question to get on the heels of Apple’s WWDC 2017 announcements. Then it’s time to discuss backups, and how much you should worry (hint: a LOT… that’s the point of backing up!). Add in some Wi-Fi chaos and that’s the foundation of a good Mac Geek Gab episode.Note: Shownotes are complete!
