This week Justin and Dave are joined by Steve Stanger of The Mac Attack podcast and blog to discuss what considerations should be taken into account when traveling to college with your Mac.   They discuss Apples – Educational Discount  (Visit Apple.com and check out what you are entitled to) among many other things which may help keep you and your Mac safe while getting down to the serious business of keggers and fornication, sorry I do mean study.

Tag- Click away, be safe, have fun oops that’s not it.

That’s all the Craic from this week’s Mac !

Justin’s Note:   One of the things we did not mention was Apple Care.   Don’t buy it from Apple when they try to sell it to you.   You’ll get it cheaper if you shop around.   You have one year to purchase and activate it to get the extended warranty and believe me it is worth it.

Hi to all who have been wondering where we’ve been for the last few weeks.   As is a MacCraic tradition we like to take a little rest every now and then to recharge the batteries.

I am pleased to say that after a nice vacation to parts sunnier than Ireland, we are back, refreshed, recharged and ready to cause even more mayhem.

Watch out for this weeks show which will have a slight bias towards vacationing with, or without your Mac (and how to get that super duper shot on the topless beaches around Europe).

Are you ready?   Can you handle the Craic?  I guess you’ll have to try it out and see.

Until next time, hang loose Craicers.

Justin
