Dr. Dave talks with a blind caller about Mac accessibility and argues that computer makers should fix reliability and security before chasing flashy features. He and Evil Steve discuss the excitement and risks of technology, online backups, Dr. Dave’s fountain pen hobby, and the pressure and hidden costs of eBay bidding. The show also considers electronic voting paper trails and GPS monitoring at Mount St. Helens, alongside callers, security updates, football and studio humor.
