MacVoices #19256: MacVoices Gift Guide #8

In our final holiday gift guide show for 2019, we catch up with the folks who couldn't make other recording times, so we adapted the format for them. Audio, security, productivity, and some off-the-wall selections were made by the panel of Andrew Orr, Rosemary Orchard, and Guy Serle.

This edition of MacVoices is sponsored by Smile, the makers of PDFpen and PDFpenPro, PDFpen for iPad, PDFpen for iPhone, PDFpen Scan+, as well as TextExpander for Mac and TextExpander for iPhone and iPad, as well as the new TextExpander for Windows. Great software to help you get more done.
