We here at Macworld have decided to experiment with the Podcast format. So we’ve taken a page from the magazine and inaugurated the Geek Factor podcast, covering tech topics on an irregular basis.
Former Macworld intern Cyrus Farivar is the host of this Podcast. In this second 29-minute installment, the topic of choice is Apple’s Newton PDA, which still has a legion of followers even seven years after it was discontinued. Cyrus interviews Grant Hutchinson, a Newton enthusiast who even runs his own Newton-based web server.
