MacMania 7 Report #2 Nov 07, 2007

Show notes

My wife, Tonya, drops in on the second report aboard the ms Volendam for MacMania 7. While sailing to Aruba, we had a full day of classes yesterday. Today in Aruba, we enjoyed an afternoon of snorkeling. This post is a day late as Libsyn's web-based interface didn't cooperate with our ship's internet connection.
