The MacVoices Live! panel of CHUCK JOINER, DAVID GINSBURG, PATRICE BREND’AMOUR,JIM REA, BRIAN FLANIGAN-ARTHURS, WEB BIXBY, ERIC BOLDEN, JEFF GAMET, MARK FUCCIO, KELLY GUIMONT, BEN ROETHIG, and GUY SERLE finish up their discussion of Apple’s Wanderlust event with some (for now) final conclusions. They highlight the iPhone 15 Pro's hardware ray tracing and USB-C port, which offer great benefits for 3D work and accessory options, and debate the size options, questioning whether purchasing the Pro models is not necessary unless you need faster USB-C speed and 5x zoom. The line between the 15 and 15 Pro is blurring, and the panel can’t fully agree on who which model is for.

This MacVoices Live! session continues the discussion of the new UK rules regarding Apple's App Store and their impact on app purchases and security.

His penchant for Apple gear continued to be nurtured by the public school system when, in High School, he was hired as a lab supervisor to help run the Apple ][e lab for his fellow students and their Print Shop needs. Then, further still, in college he often opted to help a friend with her Computer Graphics coursework instead of focusing on his own studies, but only because it helped get him closer to the Mac-lab.
