MacVoices #7112 – The Road to Macworld Expo: Terry White Previews The Adobe Breakfast, Their Expo Presence and More

Terry White
Terry White of Adobe joins us on “The Road to Macworld Conference & Expo” to talk about the Adobe presence at the show.

The Adobe User Group and Professional Association Breakfast is where a select audience gets to see demos of Adobe’s latest releases and even previews of new and sometimes unreleased products. Even though already sold out, you still might be able to get in, and Terry tells you how. Terry also talks about his Hands-on MacLab session, a session by Adobe Representative Adam Pratt and what show-goers can expect to see in the Adobe booth on the show floor…or maybe even at home. We also cover the latest from the Adobe User Group Program, including a new way for Adobe reps to present to your group without ever leaving home.

After a “deadline-hell” inspired hiatus, the MacNotables are back in action to reveal some true confessions about adopting Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, discuss the creation of the annual TidBITS holiday gift guide, and veer off into a discussion of Twitter and Facebook. Whether these social networking sites are beneficial or inane depends on how the user approaches them. Panelists Adam and Tonya Engst, Andy Ihnatko and Chuck Joiner talk about the difference in experiences with the two and which they prefer in the first of a two-part discussion.

Joe discusses Time Machine, Leopard’s built-in back-up utility, how it offers an easy-to-implement backup solution for casual users, but why sophisticated users may want to supplement it with a more traditional strategy. Joe talks about some of Time Machine’s quirks, the logic behind its processes and what to do if it starts behaving strangely, as well as explains why you may already qualify for a free copy of the book.
